Re: Mounting Bimini top
 

You have the convertible top that came standard with every Mariah. It stores behind the engine if you can wrestle it in the holes. Not a easy task and I even cut the holes bigger on mine.

I would like to have a bimini, but would want it to match the boat. My boat color is bimini, go figure!

The factory convertible top can be a pain - however it has been helpful when we ran into rain or needed some shade for the kids. I usually snap ours across the windshield, but leave the walk through unsnapped so that I can fold it open. It does block your vision though - unless you are really short or don't mind hanging to the left or the right of your seat to look out lol.

I did a half and half mount, one bar on the wind shield and one on the body just inside the wind shield, it has worked great for years. I'll take some pictures next time I have it out.
