Llyod,

A big old hat is much cheaper, looks better and is just as effective. If
skin cancer is the issue plenty of SPF 30 does a pretty good job.

Makes sense. A bimini on a 10 foot inflatable would be quite awkward.

Hmmm... I think we're suffering for "different uses" syndrome here. I
wouldn't consider a bimini if I was roaring around at 30 knots. But I'm
using it with an electric, putting along at 4-5knots, enjoying the
scenery. And, yes, fishing.

And you can always put it down if you're in a wind and don't want to be
blown around. Thst's the advantage of a bimini over a permanent "roof".

I had one on the 12ft aluminum skiff and I enjoyed it.
