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

The write-up claims that unlike a regularbimini, the tee-top can be left up
for high speed running (tested to 68 mph). Downside is you can't stand on
it (comparing it to a hard top).
Tubing is available in either aluminum or stainless.

If you are still looking for a Bimini top, that's my specialty. Visit
our site http://www.BiminiTops.biz or www.BiminiTops.biz or give me a
call 1-888-458-BOAT I can look it up for you. Or I would be glad to
provide some info on helping you build your own.

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.
