New Here - Bimini Top Question

Jrodnj · #1 03-23-2010, 07:30 PM

Hi everyone, my name is Jared. New here, don't own a V20 yet, am looking currently.

Can anyone tell me what a good sized Bimini top would be for a V20? Is an 8' Length OK? What heights in order to be able to have a 6 foot person be able to stand underneath while moving and see OK? Any links, photos, info, stories, etc....welcomed.

Welcome to V-20.com...go back and look thru the Gallery on the opening page...I've been here since '03 and can still spend HOURS looking at what others have done to their V-20s...lots of tops there...

My advice is to have one built to fit--the factory bimini sucks. Here are a couple pictures of my set up. All hooked up with quick release pins.

Genie - That's a super nice top on your boat; probably more than I need at the moment.

Tsukabi - That's basically exactly what I want to find. Right height, I'd probably go with the 8' length for a bit more shaded area.

One other question Tsukabi. You said you ordered the kit in 48-54 height. But then stated you removed 6" from the height. Do you mean it's just mounted at it's lowest setting, or you actually trimmed the height? Would I be better off with the 40-46" top?
