Hey Ken- can you elaborate on your distaste for Sunbrella please. I realize your remark may not pertain for use as a bimini which I am considering redoing. BTW I like your fixed top on your 23, but I need to fold it down to get under a bridge to good slalom water.
Thx, your advice is always solid!

My only distastes for Sunbrella was it's lack of waterproof, stetching and the fact it was easily punctured. On a spear boat that tends to be a big factor when people (including myself) forget it's overhead and lift their gun into it. But for a bimini it is probably fine.

Ken thx-
Read a remark by a Riviera Beach canvas maker. He likes Weblon or Stamoid for t-tops and prefers Sunbrella for biminis which get folded- about what I expected. A friend loved the Sunbrella bimini on his 28’ Bertram. Thx for your reasoning.
