Hallett 240, 80 mph bimini top...

Nice and flat. Mine has a bend in the bar for when it's laid flat and the bend now sticks up above the gunnel. Huge PITA when loading up. It's at the perfect height to snatch my yam bag when stepping in the boat.

I like that setup for your open bow but I don't think I'd like the lowered top for my closed bow....I go out over the dash quite often.

Looking good.

So are you keeping this one?

i think i'll have it for a while,,, i paid "all the money" for it,...it had 60 hrs when i got it, and the 525 power was a good find

the ones for sell for 50 k all had 454 or 496 power, it was gonna cost 50k plus the steering to up grade the power to 525

then i'd have a 100k into a 14 year old boat with 500 hrs,,

new one would cost 140...

really wish i would have kept the 270 though... got this one riding good,... but its no 270

I agree with you. I had a low pro bimini on my previous open bow Shockwave and loved it. My current boat is a closed bow with a low pro bimini and it's a royal pain when getting in and out of the boat when beached so I rarely use it. Having a taller one made is 1st on my winter to-do list!
