Are you talking about the hole cut in the bimini to accommodate the extended pylon, or something else?? BKH

I have never seen one in person, but I built one. I thought I had a picture I could post, but I don't seem to have one.
I put a tower on my boat, and I'm willing to sell it the bimini I made. I'm the same GN6027 from PlanetNautique, I a$$ume you are the same ryanandrews as well? |

correct....gn027 i would love to see the pics...
bkh--if you go to bi's website and click on the fly high gear(fat sacks poles etc.) you will see they offer a bimini top for extended pylons. i was just curious on the price quality usefullness etc. i just dont trust myself installing a bimini top on my boat, and have no clue on what one to buy- mounting etc. the dealer quaoted my 650 for a bimini installed(little too high for my blood). |

Very interesting. I've never seen one of those on the water. Looks like it would flop all over the place, but BI usually makes good products. I'd like to see one in action as well.
If you're considering a conventional bim, the following website seems to have pretty good prices. I don't know anyone who has purchased from this site, so I have no idea as to quality. BKH http://www.boatersoutlet.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=114#3Bow |

I'll see if I can dig up a pic to scan in and post of my bimini. I made it to attached to the Fly High and the cable going to the bow. No other tie-downs or holes to drill in the boat. It worked good for me for a couple of years just to get out of the sun. The Tennessee sun (where we usually ski) is brutal in July. Never had any issues with speed either. It stayed put, and didn't wiggle too bad.
I also made a two wakeboard & kneeboard rack to clamp to the Fly High. Willing to sell it too. |
