    Default Ready for the Texas Sun


    After reading several posts I decided to make me a couple of umbrella holders.

    I put a Bimini top on my walk-thru. I would think those would be a problem catching to much wind and would interfear with boat control. I can run wide open with mine up while moving from one spot to another. I would imagine that you have to take those down while running from spot to spot with the big motor. EB

    trsteele, looks good and will work for you. I have a couple for the front of my pontoon like that and I also have an 8'wide by 10' long Bimini top too. Yes we have to put the umbrellas down when we move fast but we don't mind either.
    Yours look good and I hope they keep you a little cooler. Ferdi aka Fred
