check out boatcoversdirect.com. look for sunbrella material
Get a 4 bow on a sliding track with multip!e points to attach straps so you can adjust as needed. And get as tall a one as you can find.
What he said.....great quality. As for the height......some want to stand up under it which is fine...but remember....the higher it is the less shade it will provide. Bimini Tops - F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions) and Measuring TipsQuote:

2x on the sliding track. Get the track as long as possible too.
All good advice and I thank you. My boat is a Tracker V16 so a 8 foot long top covers half the boat which to me is too much. 6 foot tops I have found only come in 3 bow. Would like 4 bow but have not found one in 6 foot length. We are not very tall so 46" high we can walk under. At that size should I still consider a sliding track?
Get a Carver.
I also bought from boatcoversdirect as others recommended. It is a local company here in SC. They sell Carver and other brands but also can make one for you. I got one for my Tracker so I could stand up under it. It fit and worked great. Get Sunbrella material if you can and you want have to replace it in 2 or 3 years.http://www.crappie.com/crappie/asset...9&d=1355527379Quote:

Even though you can walk under they do trap some heat on the still summer days. Yes get sliding tracks. That way when stowed it can be as far rearward without hampering motor movement but keeping back deck somewhat clear. Can also move forward or back depending on sun angle and where your fishing. Have you tried the umbrella type that mount to your seats? Unless my wife is with me and it is june, july or august mine stays in garage. Pain in but to fish around them.
Max speed on my boat was around 30 but I usually ran around 25. Top was fine at that speed.Quote:

They are a pain to fish around....but......I have mine on in summer and will put it up to take a 15 minute break out of the sun. It sure feels good to get in a few minutes shade....and it goes up and down easy.
