Bimini for BlackJack
 
The wife wants a bimini top for the BlackJack for when she is in it. I want one that lays flat when not using and can be removed with just pulling two pins. Anyone seen one on a BlackJack that fits this MO?

No, but go to Sterling in New Iberia I am sure he can make you a custom one. He is expensive but great quality. A buddy of mine that has a 24' sea pro got a custom one from him.

I can't tell you where to get one but I love my bimini top. Sure is nice to get in some shade and mine lays back around the back/transom of the boat so you never have to step over it to fish and never even know it's there.

I would never get another boat without one.;)

W, I ain't gonna have it on the boat unless wife is in the boat and that is only 2 or 3 times a yr. You ain't putting me in the T-top group.

I found some pretty good deals online. How wide is your boat?? That's the deciding factor on price. You can order it with any dimension you want. Ill try to dig up my reciept for the website. It was much cheaper than getting it made locallly

X 2 on Sterlings in New Iberia

Top Dawg 07-20-2011 09:01 AM

What size does the boat have to be before it's ok to have a t-top??

cmdrost 07-20-2011 09:10 AM

google bimini top and there are several websites you can choose from to custom order. Just need to know your boat specs.

Lavo, get you one of these and stick it in one of the rod holders. Not perm and can be removed for running. It also does not qualify as a T-TOP.:*****:http://www.outdoorpatioumbrellas.com...FQpU7AodBUvtyQ

like them 2 boys that won the shoot out a couple years ago. 2 office style chairs under 2 of them there umbrellas in their aluminum boat! They looked mighty cozy!

lavocat 07-20-2011 11:14 AM

Hell I think I'd rather have a T-top than a patio umbrella and if you knew my wife you would know she ain't going for that. Besides I do need something I can run with. Thanks for the advice. I need to measure my width and how tall I want it. Boat is at Bowtie but might be fishing in the morning so I will measure it then.

:rotfl: I gotta laugh at this one, because when My GF comes with me my 50,000 cadillac get's degraded to a 10,000 Bateau I sport a blue one that matches the boat for her when shes tired of tanning, and keeps her from saying "r u ready yet?",
In all honesty though if your on the water in the hotter parts of the day the thing comes in handy, folds up, breaks down in seconds, fits it the rod locker, and cost 19.99 at academy, and realy dont mater if it breaks or u lose it. Just dont try getting on step with it:shaking:
