Just ordered a new bimini (sun) cover for my Princecraft Yukon. I decided
to get one because I tend to get burned the first really good sunny day each
season....we usually have so much overcast weather in the late spring that a
good hot day catches us a bit unprepared.
Now I might even get my fair skinned wife out for a cruise.
Anyway, I ordered the top from a manufacturer in Quebec who also makes the
official Princecraft 'Sun Top' version. Mine will be better, with real
Sunbrella, stainless steel hardware upgrade and with the back support poles
in place of rear straps.
All that and about $100.00 cheaper. I should look quite dapper with the
Cadet Gray top over the blue sides and gray hull.




My fair-skinned wife prefers the bimini top to be up. She wears a heavy
sunblock, but the extra protection of that top makes a difference for her.

I prefer the biminis to tee-tops because they offer more shade. If you
get a good bimini, it won't rattle or rock and roll while you are
driving your boat at planing speeds or even a bit faster. The cheap
biminis some boat manufacturers supply have thin tubes and are cheaply
fastened to the deck.

Enjoy.
