    I love mine! Make sure to get a short one. My buddy has a 60 inch, and the shade always seems to be out over the water and not in the boat. lol! Min is so short that u have to duck down under it to get sittig. The ducking is no problem. Shade is always over my seats, so it is perfect. I dont have to duck when sitting, only when standing. When Im seated top is about 4-6 inches over my head. My buddies I can stand erect under it. And it is a total waste, because of what I was saying earlier. Shade isn't over the boat.

    My 8ft. Sportsbrella put the shade out side the boat most times.....but it still feels cooler because I am not in direct sun.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    Go large in order to stand under as I hate ducking, BUT put it on 4 ft long tracks. That way you can slide it fore/aft to put the shade on you as you need it.

    This would be the ticket if you are fishing into, or away from the sun. If fishing parallel to sun, no bueno. Shade still over the water.

    I was fishin 12 rods off the front . Catched 24 fish on outside left 2?? 7 on other 10 poles? All same. After 3 sleepless Night s. I realized the far left 2 were the only ones not in the Shade! Of the Bimini! Positive that was it.

    I bought mine from the same dealership I bought my boat from H2O express in arkansas. I will look up exactly what I got when I get home. It was expensive, but very well worth it.
