You can have a Bimini top that stores under hatch but requires install once you land. (the assembly stays strapped under the hatch while stowed.

Since the fountain has I believe a flat hatch with no back seat back in it you can also install a hideaway bimini that is mounted but drops in notch in the rear seat and stays in the engine compartment .

Search hideaway and hidden bimini and you will get the ideas for your local marine upholstery guy. DCB does alot of them that ive see out west.

I use the anchor shade.

I also use the anchor shade becouse I do not want to put mounts into the the boat for the top to mount to.

Taylor bought out anchor shade a while back and sell it under their name.

We had an anchor shade. Worked pretty good when there was no wind. We got a Bimini for our 33 Outlaw to put up when we get where we are going on those really hot days!!

Here are a couple of pics.. I have run with it up doing 45-50, but don't normally run with it up. Has accon fittings to put it up in less than a minute.

The accon fittings are nice and quick!

They are around $100 and will last several weekends or a summer as long as you don't try to go above idle speed with one up.

I like my anchor shade, I too have had them break. Called tylormade for replacement parts told me they were waiting for the parts to come in on a shipment. Took my address, 3 weeks later the parts showed up no charge. I was pretty impressed, it wasn't their fault I had it up when it was really too windy out.
