Well, I was sewing on my bimini this week and discovered that I am now patching some patches.
The sun is never kind to material after years of exposure.
So, wanting a functional, practical and long term approach to all systems on my vessel, I am seriously looking at Hard to top hardtops in Florida.
They seem good, solid and yet not too heavy.
They seem "easy" to attach and not too much upkeep.
But my major question is how they survive in high winds and hurricanes!
I always remove my bimini and strap the bows together when hurricane force winds come this way.
For those who have hard to top hardtops and are in hurricane zones; how do these structures perform?
Do you remove the hardtop?
Strap firmly to your boat?
Just leave alone and they survive well?
Also, any particular or specific issues you have discovered since you purchased a hard top?
Anything you would do differently?
Are you pleased with this company?
Thanks for your input.
