I have a 14ft valco v hull that came with a Bimini when I bought it. Today I have started to try and mock it up.
Does this look like it is mounted the correct way?
If i fold down the back supports and put the top down towards the stern i would not be able to control the motor, or use my rod holders.
If i fold it up to the bow, it sits right above the front bench.
The top is also a bit wider than the boat when folded, is this normal?
Maybe i should sell this one and get a smaller one?

And now you know why it was't mounted when you bought it.

I would keep the bimini, and buy a bigger boat. :)
