Kind of hard to describe. but looks pretty good.


If you cannot stand underneath it at the helm or in the cockpit and if it
attaches to the windshield frame you will be uncomfortable under it in
anything but cool rainy conditions.

JMO. Don't say I didn't want you. ;-)


I've thought of that. But the windshield does open in the center, and
it's open bow. Besides, it will have ample (I think) side vents that
don't come tight around the side shields. basicly I'd say that even
though attaching at the windshield, it will be open like a buggy top.
BTW, I have a couple `2 v electric fans in the boat now. and they
circulate the air well. I not only need the shade, but also because of
the boats power, or lack of, I want to cut down ont he wind resistance
as well, thusly attaching to the windshield.

I don't know if it's because the bimini's are too tall or not fitted
properly, but when Carlyle lake gets pretty wavy, I see boats with tall
bimini's bobbing around out there, and with the swaying it doesn't look
to me like they give much sun protection anyhow.

All in all, I might be disapointed witht he outcome, but if so..? it's
so!
