Got the bimini top with the boat in August 2023. My brother has one and uses it often. It's a little taller and longer than mine. 

 

I mainly used when the wife joins me, she likes to be out of the sun. And also when the dogs join us. 

 

I have found it hard to fish around. 

 

Today was fishing and it started to rain. I put up the bimini top and continued to fish. 

 

Rained hard for about an hour. No worries. 

 

Surprised how dry the forward storage stayed. One of the jump seats had some wet items...I think the bimini top was draining right in to it. 

 

 

Bimini top for the WIN!

Reminds me of the song line... "the ocean is a desert with its life underground". 

 

Now that it is hot, it's nice to be able to sit down and take a break out of the sun.  

I could have used one today, it was extra extra sunny
