So this morning i go over to a local dealer (actualy next month im opening a shop at there facility)
To see this ponton i made a forward bimini on. Last month.



Seems the guy never takes the cover off nevermind putting the tops down when trailering.  So when it was parking the boat hos wife probably went in the house and left him to back the  boat in alone a d with the tops up he did t see the tree breaking the rear frame completely off.
So he has a trip to key west this wekend a d asked if the forward top could be made to offer shade alone. So i was asked to add snaps to hold the tail end of the cron top to the boat and add straps.     I did but this is what i saw in the yard also a old pontoon with home done upholstery.  The fold and staple method.
Lol. This takes the cake. Lol.

I always roll my eyes when I see someone cruising down the highway at 65-75mph and the bimini on the ski boat is shakin' to beat the band.  :)

hey, anybody remember that video of the guy who make the <$200 bimini top with tarps,PVC pipe, and duct tape a few years ago that got posted here? HILLARIOUS, but I lost the link moving from one computer to another somewhere. If any body still has it please post for the new members---Friday would work right in  :D

Watching this video and seeing how cheap and easy these tops are has brought me to the conclusion
that you Marine fabricators are expensive and over charge. :)
