Hi: <BR> <BR>I would like to get a tower with a good (strong) bimini top that I can leave up all season long. My boat is a 18' Larson I/O Sport. Thanks in advance for any recommendations. <BR> <BR>Marshall (Toronto)

shot you an email but basically, it's about the bimini, not the tower. Most aftermarket tower companies do not built the bimini tops in house. You can use a company like TowerBiminis and have a custom made tower mounted bimini top built for just about any tower on the market right now.

z-5 cargo rack....best one out IMO

Towerbiminis.com <BR> <BR>Very strong. How fast do you trailer? I was doing 70mph with the bimini up and into a strong 30mph headwind. The bimini started to flutter so I took it down. I think it's rated for 60mph wind. If you dock your boat, then no problem. I don't trailer with it any more unless local roads. Doesn't move at WOT. <BR> <BR>I love the utility of the z-5 cargo rack, but I thought it was very limited on what tower it would fit. Towerbimini does fold up with removal of 2 nobs and 2 quick-release pins. Does the z-5?
