UH, that's my purse...not giga's.... Seriously, do a search and i think you should be able to find the thread on that bimini top, where i ordered it, etc. We really like it and it definitely helps knock the heat down off the kiddos....and da Daddy!! Woody

 Re: bimini top?
Make sure that you have enough height to walk under. In a mud rig only go as wide as the inside of your hull, where it will sit inside the boat hull when not in use(trust me on this one), go ahead with the track slides where you can center it for the most shade when in use and have the ability to side it far back enough to get it out the way when in the down position.

 Re: bimini top?
i got the Cabelas 3 bow 54" version just the other day. Very simple to put on and has takn a good beatin on the trees already.
I'm 6'2 ish and it is plenty tall for me. I have a 20' boat and wish i had the 4 bow version so i could get more length of shade but it works ok.
If you can get the 48" version if you are gettign it for kids. My 54" does not give much sade on the boat after 5pm or before 10am.
Remember it will not catch all the sun all the time and you will have to constantly adjust it but thats ez to do.
i'll get pic soon. Later
