Default bimini height??

I did a search but didn't turn up any specific answers on this... Anyone have a height suggestion for an aftermarket bimini on a 99 shabah 202? I assume I need the 91-96" in width. any suggestions or pictures with descriptions would be great.

    funny Andy! just wondering about the stated height of the product before I order, lol. I don't have the boat yet. It should get delivered next week so I cant take measurements. Wife wanted the top before we go out next weekend so I was trying to order so it'd be here when the boat arrives.

    I'm looking at the 36" high. I'm 5'8" on a 98 z202. Too much higher and it'll be way up in the air.

    It's also not that wide if you're using the factory mounts on the windshield frame.

    Just ordered one 46" high for my 180. I plan to cut the center post and attach to the windshield.

    You can always cut them shorter if you think they're too tall looking.

    Ok went by the boat. 79" inside the windsheild and about 82" outside. Where are most ppl mounting a tip? Is it possible to attatch it to the top of the glass? I wouldnt think that would be a good idea but if it is it would keep the poles out of the way. if I attach it to the fiberglass 46 inches is what I needif I attach to the top of the glass I could get away with 36 inches are there mounts available for the glass mine has no type of factory mounts anywhere. Its a 99 Shaba 202. Suggestions? Pictures...

    Thanks for the help. I need to get this ordered to get it here next week possibly.
