Who did it? Looks great.
I agree on the too much sun aspect of the mesh, especially in the middle of summer.

Update : old top with mesh used to whistle like crazy at speed , this one is super quiet . Sitting in channel, didn’t have to put towels on top to block sun . I’m happy !

looks nice, I like the darker color too.

saw my doc the other day and was talking about how much less time I spend in the direct sun... told her I hide under bimini top and I wear a hat and a shirt more now. she said "damage is done". thx.

It looks great and I'm sure it's a lot cooler without the mesh. Having some shade is good. So important to take care of your skin! I just got diagnosed with melanoma on Friday. Extremely thankful that my dermatologist is extra-cautious, checks me for skin cancer every 4 months, and caught it early...stage 0 (is that really even cancer?!?) G, thank you for the recommendation, btw. Treatment will only involve surgery...thank God.

I prefer a dark bimini, and blue doesn't fade. I have a white one now on my 270 and the dark ones are way more comfortable. You can actually take your sun glasses off. Looks great!

Edit: I just noticed you've got no bow rail. Interesting. Don't think I've seen that. Cool!​

Had to be really persistent with Jerry to not have it installed, good catch .

Thanks. Not quite yet, but probably will be soon. Haven't met with surgeon. It's on a tricky spot, my ankle. Lol...pots and kettles, babe, pots and kettles. Actually haven't been back here since July when you told me to check out the prostate thread.

I noticed the whistle from the mesh bimini yesterday.
However, it does not bow or balloon like my full fabric one at speed.

Looks good, somewhat unusual to get that good of a color match.
