Biminis & Offshores
Hello to everyone out there. I'm thinking of putting a Bimini top on my 2007 Fountain 35 Executioner but would like to see some pics first of what it may look like with one on it. I'm not sure if I would like how it would look with one and don't want to spend the money until I can see a couple. Does anyone have or know of any pictures with an Executioner with a Bimini top on it? Any response will be appreciated, thank you

We used an anchor shade several years and thin had a Bimini made. Don’t know how slow you can run, we can go 30-35 with top up.
I prefer the Bimini over anchor shade because we can unzip and pull it up 3 times faster than we could put up the anchor shade, and it is more stable if wind is blowing. Mine is on a “ol slow Powerquest” so may not be as good an option for yours.

On my Velocity, I have been 65mph with the bimini up.

I logged hundreds of miles on my 27 and 28' Advantages with the top up, alot of them over 70 mph. Just make sure it is all SS hardware. A cross brace somewhere to limit the side to side movement is the trick. Every time I buy a boat that has one of those crappy Anchor Shade umbrellas, it is the first thing that hits the dumpster

I've got one on my 28 Heat. The previous owner had it made in Reno, NV. It's all stainless. He told me it is rated at 90MPH. It sure seems stable at speed to me but I've only had it fully expanded in the mid 60s so far.

I really appreciate all of the responses, it is good to get others points of view. I've had password problems for over a week and only now have it resolved so I'm answering now. I probably should have said this in the original post, I mainly want it for no wake zones if I'm in them for a bit. Where I boat there is a couple that can tie you up for 30 -45 minutes or so. On very hot days and no wind you can imagine that it gets pretty hot and uncomfortable for everyone.
Thanks again for all the responses, you all are much appreciated!!
