Post by: ka0tyk on September 25, 2013, 12:25:08 PM: it worked great the couple times i took the boat out with it. but the aluminum poles were thin, it came with plastic hardware, etc. i wouldnt be doing any WOT pulls with it on, but it wasnt super crappy by any means and it worked.

with my new boat ill probably be doing a custom bimini.

I bought my all SS 7/8 pacific blue from safguard on ebay for under 300...I even modified it for a low flat look. It doesn't balloon like most others I see...keeps the same look at fast speed with little drag.
