Bimini top for fct3?

[slowdoo72]

Has anyone found a good looking and quality bimini top for Roswell's flight control tower 3. Other than the Z5 cargo rack? THANKS!

I had this one on the PlanetNautique / White Lake Marine 210 this past summer. It is a TowerBiminis brand.

Are you able to trailer your boat with this top assembled? And how was the quality of the fabric and framework? Any other brands you've come across that mount under the tower. Thanks

TowerBiminis makes both an under the tower and over the tower top. It seemed to be good quality. I have owned two or three of their tops before, and all have been good. My favorite is still the Z5 though.

Here's how it looks folded down for travel:

I did check out their website, and thanks for the replies. The Z5 is definetly more pricey! About $700 t0 $800.00 more than the Tower Bimini. Both have different features, the Z5 can store boards on top but does not fold up, and theTower Bimini folds up for those cool overcast days and early and late season boating here in the midwest. Still a toss up I guess! Thanks again

I Agree - Z5 is the way to go

I have an over the tower bimini for our FCT-3 and love the fact that I can walk under with out hitting my head, I'm 6'-3". However, I might sacrifice this for the better shade that an under the tower bimini would provide. Our bimini is basically useless for sun shade unless it's the middle of the day and the sun is real high. Other than that, the sun beats down on you under the top. I'd still do the over the tower top, but beware it's a tall tower and there's going to be a lot of hours during the say that you get sun even with the top up.

I'll play. They can convert it to a cargo rack that can hold extra boards as well.
