Most of the time we just use the umbrella. A redneck T top.http://gfretwell.com/electrical/The%20Butt%20Ugly.jpg

The bimini is good when you have a boat full of people but it tends to
hold the motor noise in.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks for the pic, Greg. It's giving me some ideas. Is that float a
22 footer? And i couldn't really get the detail off the cover but what
engine is that?

20' Harris circa 1975, rebuilt in 1989 (deck, tougher stringers home
made console)
The engine is a 2002 merc 60 EFI 4 stroke coming up on 2900 hours.- Hide quoted text -

Well, you have a 60hp 4cycle *on a 20' And I have an 85hp -2 cycle *on
a 30'

I'll bet *you'rs will go faster, manuver quicker, and go further on
less fuel. But mine will hold more people and gear.

Wadda you say?

Sounds right. I have mine set up for good low speed maneuvering in
tight spots. The steering is on a shorter than stock bracket so it
turns farther than stock, about 50 degrees of dead ahead so this will
turn in about 2 boat lengths. If I can work a little wind or tide I
can do it in a bit more than the length of the boat. Handy when you
are back in the mangroves.
I run out about 23-24 MPH with just me and the dog, fairly empty boat.
It seems to collect stuff so now that is more like 22. Most of the
time I am slow speed to about 16-18 occasionally and I burn between
1-2 GPH average tank to tank.- Hide quoted text -

Mine will probably burn a gallon every two miles. If I'm that lucky!
