Default Pretty damned cool bimini enclosure

Oh, the fact it's an actual bimini, as opposed to a T-top. OK.
I swear, that guy looks EXACTLY like a GI Joe I had when I was a kid.

It's just a bimini, what's so cool about it? And, who's CamoDude? Any
guns on board?

One of the local guides had a canvas pro build this for his existing
bimini. It's really nice, and provides protection without having to
have the annoyance of a tee-top.

Uh, it's a bimini with full front and side curtains. That means it is
a bimini that extends one's fishing season in cooler weather AND keeps
one out of the rain when that is important. I've seen plenty of
tee-tops with front and side curtains, but no biminis on center
consoles rigged up that way.

That's what's cool about it.

Lots of us who have had tee-tops and biminis on open boats prefer
biminis. I've had tee-tops on two center console boats and find them
next to useless for providing shade from the sun.

I have no idea who the camo dude is, and I have no idea if there are
"guns on board." Why would either concern you?



I had the same thought as you, what is so cool about it? It is a
creative use for a fully enclosed bimini, but a fully enclosed bimini
none the less. I guess I haven't seen one used this way before.
