Your lower end looks very close to the ground as well.

It happens there is another current thread running about bimini tops, and
there are some pictures of other boats with bimini tops.

In those pictures, the supporting aluminum bows, meaning those bows that
extend off of the main bow that attaches to the boat, are pointing forward.

Yours are pointing towards the back of the boat, if that means anything.

My dad, who installed a bimini top on his party barge, says you have your on backwards because it should fold to the back of the boat.

Yep, that main bow needs to go to the back.

Here's mine.

Maybe its the angle of the picture,but yours looks like a, "Fat guy in a little coat"!

Yeah, it's backwards from the normal installation which has the bimini fold to the stern.

Yep, weird angle. It is a tad high.

The problem comes when you need to fold it. If you put in on the other way, it will fold and unfold much easier.
