Wiredup55 has a very similar Hybrid top as mine. Ours does not fold down for trailering or storage. However I too am curious about the extra bar as mine does not have one in the same location.
Beautiful boat- quick questions on the hybrid top
1. does it fold down easily/quickly to allow daily storage under canapoy lift
2. There is a bar coming off the canapoy that seems to go to the floor being the captains chair. Is this a permanent support or is it just not connected where it is supposed to be?
So, this is a newer version of the hybrid top. This is no longer a "toy carrier" like they called it before, strictly a bimini top that folds forward vs back onto a arch. I couldn't get the sport arch with the RSB design, this was the only option. It folds forward as you can see in this photo:

When it's opened, looks like this:

Once it's folded forward, if you look closely at the first photo, rear support, there is a knob that you can remove and the whole arch looks like it will fold forward for trailering. The support behind the seat is mandatory, which is why they didn't think it originally would fit on my model, it is removeable, if you were to lower the whole arch forward. It's pretty cool actually, better than I thought it would be, and provides a lot of coverage when opened.
