left side mounting bedded with 3M 5200. The wellcraft has inward slanting windshields. I've seen tons of v20's with the bimini poles mounted on the outside of the windshield frame... bad design since most bimini frames are anodized aluminum and will corrode in a season or two.

Right side mounting of the bimini.. Not enough room on the captain's chair side for a regular mount. used a
3-1/2 inch SS bolt screwed into the side w/ washer and nut.. just as strong/good as regular bimini mounts.

3M rubbing compound and "starbrite" brand teflon boat wax did the trick to remove all the oxidation. Oh yeah... forgot to mention the canadian co. that custom made the bimini check em' out at www.gmitopdesign.com tell them what you want and they will ship it to you. Plan on getting a full enclosure next.

My other hole in the water that sucks up all my money...a 1964 17' Boston Whaler with 90 hp tohatsu. Restored--Brought it back from the dead. It was in real rough shape. It only needs 6 inches of water to float it. Awesome for bucktailing fluke in the shallows. The only set back is the famous "rough and wet" whaler ride. I got my kidneys pounded out of me in 2 foot chop.
