I want to change my top,no more straps,use poles instead.I got a quote of 900$ to install 4 angled poles(replaces straps),2 cross braces,and 2 short stand off poles for the rear.All mounts thru bolted.Any ideas or suggestions on shops?
I have a friend with that set up and it rattles pretty bad. Might want to do a rigid set up for the rear & straps for front for some tension.
Not sure where to have this done though.
cross bracing?The rattles would make me crazy,do you still have the straps?I dont have any problems with it,I just think one day somethings gotta break,but maybe not,80 hours and nothing yet
Yes, he has cross bracing and all. The steel mounts dont really pull tension to stay away from rattling.
Just stay away from the 90mph passes with the bimini up.

You should never tow the boat on the freeway at 100 with your kids in the boat, are you crazy? You could get a ticket.
Why are you home? Rain?
I agree with Outcole'd. With the rigid bracing at all four corners, there is no way to tension the top. The solid rear, with the front straps is the best way to go, but at speed, it is best to lower the top.
rain and sick kid,my wife had to work,plus she makes more money than me :rollside:
