Someone needs to help Diablo out here so we keep the newbies actively involved.
Sorry, I don't have any info on biminis.

They charged me $100 more to go with an all SS frame and hardware and just by looking at the construction , I am happy to pay $550 for one and $600 for the other . Look up canvas shops in your area and some upholstery shops might do it too . Try to look at some of there work before you make your desicion , you dont wanna be cruisin around and have a POS collapse on your freinds and family.

I have done a couple of high speed runs with mine up and it stayed tight and right .

Mine wouldn't have stayed "tight and right" on any run; one of the restraints snapped when I put it up to check it out; actually, the bimini is in good shape, just the restraints and cover are shot. Of course, shade is the least of my concerns right now.

Mine has all stainless hardware but the straps broke loose and that SOB folded up like a cheap suite and nailed my buddy sitting in the back seat right between the eyes...Luckly I was just taking off and was only going like 35mph...Don't want to know what woulda happened if we were haulin' ass and that happened...Moral of the story is that I never keep the top up when I'm haulin ass...

Ohhh Yea! Everyone knows that a real duckhunting boat has a strap-on! ;D
