Bimini Top

My Bimini is deployed 90% of the time and its starting to get a bit nasty looking. Im going to be sourcing a new one soon.
I try to stay under 45 with it deployed.

I had a strap break doing less than 20. The frame and bimini top may be good for 45 but the sun and salt water can compromise the straps.
 
I had mine rebuilt when the camper canvas was done, using Sunbrella. The fabricator installed 5/6 snaps on the tower and rear support pole as well as zippers on both, and assures me that 70/75 mph will be no problem. Too bad it won't go that fast on the water!

Do you have any pictures of your new top? @bumpy

That's interesting. I have the SX so it would be a little different. Thanks for the picture.
