    front bimini flew off

    My previous boat was a Hurricane deck boat and I routinely went 35 mph with the bimini up. 15 mph is pretty slow for a boat with a 200 HP+ motor and it's hard to predict when a wind gust might pop up. In Tennessee we have pop-up thunderstorms all summer and if I want to ensure I'd never...

    Options for blank helm plate

    I have looked for a glovebox for that panel as well and all of the above options are too wide. Still looking.
