And the dread mice. Love those white taylormade bow tops. Don't know why anyone would make a black sunshade.
@boatus5 жыл бұрын
Dead mice? Ick! Actually, interesting tip: The pigments in the darker color biminis (and stitching) help it to last longer than lighter colors. You can learn more about that in our companion video on signs of a quality bimini: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2XFfKiLos92p6s

Black only matters if the area below is enclosed like a car. If it is open you wont feel any heat difference sitting a foot below it no matter whatever the color

💯 Definitely a nice feature no matter what weather you have to deal with. Here in the Mid-Atlantic, they're critical for sun protection and sudden squalls. Thanks for watching, Vincent!

Where to buy it
@boatus Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the question, Boston. There are many, many options available, and you'll need to do some research to figure out which is best for your needs and budget. First you'll need to narrow down whether you want an OEM replacement, off-the-shelf top, or fully custom (and there are probably variations of each of these categories, too). We do recommend buying the best quality you can afford in terms of the frame, hardware, and fabric materials -- it will be cheaper (and less frustrating) in the long run. Here's a video we did about signs of quality in a boat bimini top: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2XFfKiLos92p6s Hope this helps!

If you were actually out boating with this set up, the rear poles would be already up. You probably wouldn't have the bimini on the rear seats where your family would be seating or getting in or out of the boat from the rear. All bimini's should have a boot.
@boatus4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the input, George, but we're going to have to disagree. When fully stowed, the bimini is not blocking the rear seats (that would be a pretty bad design flaw). Instead, it's sitting on the sunpad, where it wouldn't be safe for anyone to sit while the boat is running anyway. Someone might want to have it in the full down position to reduce windage while underway or to ensure full sun.
@amiabledave503 жыл бұрын
@@boatus George never said for people to sit on the sun pad or when it is moving. George has a valid point which I agree. The way you have the top stowed, people getting in/out of the boat would stumble over the top. Even in calm waters and when is there calm waters in the day?. At best, the top is in the way. even for the passengers sitting in the rear seat. Now at the end of the day and home, I see nothing wrong with is stowed like you have it. And all tops should have a boot. Talk about a parachute when trailering.

Tony, we agree that this is somewhat simple, but we have boaters of all experience levels coming to our channel looking for information. No one is born knowing these things, so it's important to encourage new boaters by teaching them the skills they need. That makes boating better for everyone.

I still stand on my statement. If you don't have the runemetric skill to fold a piece of canvas then you don't and should not be operating a boat ... That would be like driving a car but ya don't know how to roll down the window..now would you let a person like that on a highway ?..
