    Question New Bimini!

    I spoke with someone this weekend about extending off the back of my Bimini. They don't think it would help much because it is so high. They suggested making a new Bimini similar to this Malibu.

    Would be black with a Brittany blue stripe in the middle.

    The only thing that sucks is I loose a lot of head room & won't be able to stand straight up. Plus it would have to relocate my speakers (that aren't yet mounted).

    Thoughts?

    To each their own, but I personally think the Moomba one is nicer. Sounds like your sacrificing a lot for a little extra shade.

    Guess that depends on the angle of the sun.

    If you're having it made - I'd still go over the tower. Keep your headroom and your speakers.
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

    Over the tower, headroom is too important. Personally I like the size of the stock bimini

    I would go higher, over the tower, or what ever. I hate bumping my head, or having to lean over to try and avoid hitting it.

    I think if you extend that far back into the cabin, you will either need to move your surf rope to the rear ski pylon or risk damaging the bimini.

    That's a good START. Just need to extend it from the tower all the way to the AFT like a full front to back pontoon bimini. Tim "the tool man" Taylor that bad boy!
