I gotta wonder how stable that this - there is virtually no cross
bracing for side-to-side stability.

Speaking of side-to-side stability, did I ever mention the swaying
action I get with my bimini? Oh, I did? Well...never mind.


It was determined that you should have purchased a surry top like
Harry's. His was the finest kind available and didn't sway like yours.
Yup. We remember.


Was that the bimini that was hand built by the finest Union craftsmen
using only expensive German hand tools and the highest grade materials
known to man including the top material that was certified by NASA and
was used to craft space suits installed by a crew of highly trained
engineers using only high strength through fittings so that on the
next fire boat welcome after some amazing adventure on Chesapeake Bay
so that nobody would get wet while standing under it?


Nowhere in here is there any mention of the stiffness of that famous
2" tubing.

I don't know about your Bimini, but did you check out the quality T-Tops
that are available.

http://www.fishmaster.com/CustomerPhotos/index.htm

I think my favorite model was the one in the upper left hand corner. It
looked very firm and taut.


I like the steering wheel cover.

Too much side-to-side action. But the tautness is unquestionable.

John, John, John,
You have been around so long, and you still haven't figured out Harry
Krause's MO.

Tom will never go into HK's pretend bozo bin, because Harry needs to
insult old friends.
Remember all of the insults he used to throw towards Chuck, after he
became an old friend?
He would use information that he had gained in personal email to try to
get Chuck's goat. He will do the same with Tom.

Also, Harry has to keep enough people out of his pretend bozo bin so he
can comment about all of the people's comments who are in pretend bozo
bin. How could he insult you, if he did read your comments via Donnie
or someone else? Harry likes to comment that "just" is the dumbest
person in rec.boats, yet he responds to each and every one of his posts.

What I love is when someone makes a comment, and no one quotes the
comment. Harry can't control himself and will eventually respond back
to the post, even though he has that person in his "bozo bin".

I prefer not to have the steering wheel cover, the cover is just another
thing to get in your way when you are out boating.

No, Mr. Multiple Personality Disorder, it's built by a vendor in the
Carolinas and of heavier tubing and with more and better supports than
the piece of **** bimini on Herring's price-built boat. You know, the
boat Herring is selling so he can be among the boatless here.


Gee. I guess you told him a thing or two. Curious how you know
construction specs and details of Herring's bimini? A Parker owner
talking about price built boats. Who would know better about price built
than Parker?

The way I heard it it wasn't two inch marine aluminum tubing - I heard
it was 1 1/2" titanium/nickel alloy from only the finest, cleanest and
well managed Union manned mines in the world and extruded in Germany
using the best Swedish machinery to a tolerance of .00000000001 in
wall thickness.

Kinda' like that Fireboat welcome we got the other day! It was all...
er, uh, "fireboaty" and stuff, yeah, that's the ticket


Yeah - the imaginary fire boat welcome at Oakland Beach.

Priceless.

Yes... that was the one...


Well, they would all stay dry except for their feet, which always stay
wet from the water running in and out of the safety feature also known
as the LTP.


A fine feature it is too.

Yeah, unless the walls of those skinny tubes are very thick, it surely
wouldn't be very stiff. Add to that that the connections probably have
a lot of play in them....
