Make sure its tall enough. Taller than the bimini. mine was perfect for a 6 footer like me. I think I put measurements in a post a long time ago. Do a TAG search for "hardtop" on this site
The one thing I would have changed was the lower forward brace. It prevented the windshield from swinging all they way open.

Think it thru... do you need/want mounting plates for riggers/radar

Good three sided enclosure is another $1500. Get the windshield in 3 pieces. Don't get one piece across with a D zipper in front of the helm.
