    Good stuff! I seem to remember my bimini taking a lot longer to install! For the tops with straps instead of poles on the fore and aft supports, a single twist in the strap before snapping into the padeye will keep the strap from "thrumming" while you're at speed.

    Well, it was kind of a DIY how-to, right? There have been times I wish I had one. But then I see them on boats and think to myself, what kind of pain in the butt would it be to try to cast and fish with that thing up over your head and think, naaaaa, I'm ok without it.😂

  • @mr.gadgetfishing2134

    Why not use the track and track mount it? That way you can move it forward or back and free up room for fishing?
    I mounted mine in the track and works great on a 20' seaark. Was thinking you were doing a mount like that when I seen this.
    They wanted to do the same fixed mount on mine when I ordered my boat, made it hard to cast and fish off the back of the boat.. Told them I would the track mounts and do it on my own.
    GO easy driving with your motor down. Clean looking rig.

    Eight years old but he's strong, (Earnest reference) the shaft is too short ( that's what she says ), seriously how hard is it to take down by yourself , after watching four guys having trouble doing it. I have Bimini top for my kayak , pain in the buttocks when you want to fish but great when your cruising across the water on a wind less day..... Keeps you from getting sunstroke on those hot sunny days as fast, Excellent work as always sir, nice pyrotechnics at the end credits.....👍 👍 🇨🇦

    My bay boat is 102" wide at the beam. Having a hard time finding a bimini top that wide. I really like the one you had installed on your Sea Ark. Really like how it's all rigid with aluminum braces rather than using those floppy nylon straps. Wonder if Sea Ark makes one to fit my boat?
