Default Bimini top

How do you guys store your Bimini tops? The boat cover we have which I assume is the original requires us to remove the top every time.....ugh. And then we just lay it in the boat sideways. This can't be the official way, help me please!

    Haha that's how I do it also. I've only had the boat for a few weeks though, but I am planning to replace the fasteners with some sort of quick release pin and clip deal to make it easier.

    Unfortunately the brackets and top will have to come off with the factory cover. The top on my boat (202 Shabah) does perfectly fit underneath the engine deck. Normally I don't keep it there but if you are interested and can't figure yours out I could take pic of mine. We keep the brackets and a screw driver in the glove box. Takes less than 5 minutes to get the top on.

    Chick. Someone would be hard pressed to find a sexier boat than your Ferrari Red Mariah. That thing is sweet. I hope you pull it with a F40 or P1 McLaren.
