Default Bimni for a 320?

Alright guys now don't bust on me too hard for asking this after giving me such a warm welcome-

Has anyone done a bimini top on their Velocity to have some shade while cruising 55 or less? Trying to avoid the whole "I wanted air conditioning on the next boat" conversation from happening again. We have a lot of no wake zones in our area so I would appreciate the shade at times too. Local shop who does very nice work says he can build a top out of stainless that will be safe up to 60mph.

SO... any suggestions for something that won't look awful and can easily be taken down and secured when it's time to play?

Don't want it too look goofy after spending 15 hours this past week compounding, polishing, and waxing. Came out looking fantastic...

Thanks,
RB

I have a bimini 65 MPH top all stainless and side curtains came off a 38' fountain but will fit on the Velocity as far as width not sure about the side curtain fitment but could be modified to fit I'm sure, It's a little dusty on the zip up cover but like new under it. I bought it to put on the Velocity but sold the boat before I could get it on to some guy in Florida. This top is a $4,500.00 option on the 38' fountain. Id sure like to sell it for what I got in it. Comes with side curtain carring bags too. The bimini mounts at 7 locations, heavy duty SS tubes

VV,

Looked through all 23 pages of the Velocity Pics on here and only noticed one with a top. Looked like a 260 that might have been in the islands from the mooring picture- white/red hull with red bimini that was buttoned up and had a red cockpit cover.

I'll look to see what a 38 fountain cover looks like. Whatcha got in it? maybe put it on Ebay...
