[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 285289, member: 55"] Boot is the accessory piece of fabric that zips up around the folded top to protect it, and keep it bundled neatly. My main suggestion is to get the extra strut braces - most of the smaller tops attach to the boat in the middle, then use straps that pull fore and aft to keep it upright. However, when you fold it up, you have to lay it down. With the extra strut braces, you can fold the bimini, yet still have it upright, and not impeding on your deck space. I've installed some of the Westland units from Iboats, in the less costly spectrum. Decently quality units using mill finish aluminum. If you have the money, a stainless frame will be stronger, but they are generally much costlier. Keep the boot on it to keep the top out of the UV when not using the boat, and the fabric itself will last quite a long time. Get the height just tall enough to walk under without extra overhead. The lower the top is, the more shade the top will provide in the late afternoon, when the sun isn't directly overhead. [/QUOTE]
