Can I tow my boat (16ft) with the bimini top up? Any info or experience, like how fast etc...?

Thanks,
JoeVee

Not so dumb. I wish I'd asked before I did it 5 years ago. I shredded mine at 55 mph, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Nothing good can happen to it . . . so if you are looking to get a new bimini, have at it.

It's your boat, do anything you'd like. If you tow with the bimini up it'll get ruined. My bimini came with instructions to avoid using it even on the water above 35mph.

We do it (although I think we look stupid going down the road with it up), short distance to boat ramp, through town only, slow speed only, not down the interstate.
