TP13 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 For those who still have the olde model 2200v with bimini tips, what is your height of the top? From either top of th gunnel or from the floor? Also, what is the normal length of your top? I found one that may work locally but wanted to see if there were any size averages?

SCFD rtrd. Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I think the average height off the floor is about 7 ft. Most Biminis have a slight turn down on the sides (maybe 6") to help shed water. You want to be able to see to both sides quickly, without leaning over.

HoneyB Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I can’t provide you specific numbers on that boat but I do have experience with other boats with Bimini tops. I had a 17 foot key west with the best Bimini I ever owned. It was tall enough to look out from under without a thought. The top was long. It had 4 Bows on it. It was awesome. Then I had on on a 19 foot whaler. The *** side was just low enough I was never comfortable to glance out to the side. It was also short . It only had 3 bows on it. It sucked. So my two cents. Tall and long is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brew1891 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I have a 2003 2200V. I bought a 54” tall Bimini. Buy the 60” for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-linesider Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I am 5’ 10” my Bimini is 6’7” tall from floor. Plenty of height for my relatively short stature as well as my 6+ foot tall fishing buddies. Here is a picture with me and my twins that gives a good perspective of the height and the shade it provides. I also had the sides brought down a little lower than most. It pretty much provides total shade sun up to sun down works like a dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP13 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thanks fellas. The pics help a lot. I’ll go as tall as I can being 6’3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seacraft06 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I just put a 60” on my 20ft. I posted a thread with pics in this forum. It’s tall enough to walk under and see it without bending over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
