My top has a warning label on the underside that states do not operate boat over 35 MPH with the top extended.

I had the boat out again on Sunday and it was a little rough out so I kept the speed down below 40.... I don't want to risk breaking the mounts off as they are screwed in. This is the factory Donzi Bimini and it has never been used? 15 years old and it looks new as it was stored inside all this time..... I am thinking about adding some isinglass to the front so I can keep things somewhat dry when we get into the stormy summertime season....

I plan to run one when my IMP comes back out. Pretty sure it will have to be slightly custom. And I would Definitly bolt through the gunnels. I wouldn't run above 40 with in. But it would really help cool down the inside while sitting.
