How does this type of top hold up at speed?
Does it fold forward or back?

I bought the 4 ribbed one, and rigged it so it folds forward up to the top of the windshield when it's not in use. that way it's out of the way of flying fish hooks, people, etc. I cheat a little and usually custom tailor my tops after I get them. I'll bend the uprights or change the places they mount and cut them if necessary. What I wind up with is a top that (usually) sits about 4 inches or less above my windshield. It's more like the top of an enclosure than a bimini, and provides better protection from spray when running.
I can run in the low 50's and haven't had any problems with the top so far.
They are well made tops, with double walled 1" tubing. Solid, well made units. I love mine. And add to that the included boot and shipping and you cannot beat it for the price.
