    Need Advice! Yamaha AR240 or Chaparral 243 VRX?

    Anyone crossed to Bimini with a Glastron?

    Would love to hear your stories. Wondering if the boat is made to take the trip? Looks like Yamahas are the popular choice so wanted to see if any of the current Glastron owners can share their experience. If not, any other salt water experience with the Glastron?

    Wakeboarding question

    Searched for this question, but didn't see it anywhere, so I'll ask it here for my first post: Obviously I can see you can't attach the rope to the tower with the bimini deployed, but can it be used with the bimini folded back in the boot? Or does the top have to be removed completely for the...

    How to put on the E-Series Bimini cover fabric

    The dealer showed me how they remove and put the bimini cover up and it works well for me. It is easier with 2 people, but I've done it on my own fine as well. Their approach is as follows: undo and unclip all the straps, including the ratchets and wrap them back in their velcro cover Go to...

    Tear in Bimini....has anyone repaired one?

    Hi guys! Stacey in SC....first post in quite a while! I have a tear that has come up in the front section of the Bimini over the driver. It is in the fabric, not on a seam. It's about 8" wide, and extending a bit each time we open it. We plan to get a new Bimini next year, most likely. Trying...

    Time to trade the jet boat in for an airboat

    I live North of Houston, and just South of the Woodlands. We got hit with heavy rain on Thursday and Friday. People in the area say that it's the worst they've seen in 20 + years. The creek behind our house overflowed its banks, but my house was still a couple feet above the crest, so we didn't...
