We added one to our Tsunami a few years ago. The downsides are pretty much what you would expect. The boat is slightly more bow heavy and a little more tippy. It tips a little more with a cross wind. It's a little slower with the additional windage as well. While all of these changes were noticeable I would not say they are enough to bother me.

We have a very large top and I would do it again in a heart beat. The shade makes the boat much more enjoyable. It's a great spot to mount an antennae. It keeps me dry when an unexpected shower pops out. I can't wait to add curtains.
