This sort of bimini doesn't wobble because it is properly supported.

For fishing a center console I still prefer a large T-top. What's the
point if you can't walk a fish around the boat?


Yes, indeed, that's something I've had to do twice in 50+ years of
sal****er fishing, and its at the top of the list of techniques on 54'
Bertrams, too.

I don't like tee-tops. Never have. First, they're always there, even when
you don't want them there, second, they're a constant windage problem on
the water, third, they act like drogues when you're trailering, fourth,
they're a pain in the ass when you're trying to put on a full boat cover,
fifth, they increase rocking motion on smaller boats, and so forth and so
on.

Interesting idea, but I wonder if it is rigid enough for a tee-top.
Those tubes look pretty thin.
