For reference....

1. Brand and age of your pontoon....is your Bimini OEM or aftermarket.
2. How fast is your pontoon.....what speeds do you operate the boat with top on. Do you fold the top down for any particular speeds?
3. Have you ever had a top failure (structural)? If so, do you think it was caused by speed?
4. Do you know of any particular brand of aftermarket top that is excellent at handling higher speeds?
5. What is the highest speed your top is rated for?


#1- Douglas Marine Skater, 2001 model. OEM Top.....
#2- Fiberglass pontoon. Tuned properly, 150mph plus. Only done once with top on. Folded it down, and same chit happened again. uH HUH, speed was a factor. Go figure.
#3- Failure ain't the word for it. The dam* thing nearly whipped our butts to death before we could stop. Yep, speed had something to do with it. Ya think?
#4- The only brand I know of is F-16 Canopy from fighter jet. Call the U.S. Air Force. $4,000 and it will not fail.
#5- F-16 Canopy rated for Mach 2. But, if I was you, I would Woo up about 200.

JES SAYIN'.
