Very nice boat!

[Gtsum2]

Looks sharp!

So the Bimini tip is completely new for 2021 also? I didn’t realize that from other pics

Gtsum2....I would say no....bimini is the same this year. Looks like he went with something after-market...that didn't come with the boat. I'm curious as to what type and how it looks "down".

Yup it is aftermarket. Sew Long Covers out of SLC. My dealer pushes them vs the factory bimini. The factory bimini is probably easier to open and close but just by a little. I like everything about this bimini better though. Looks, coverage and all. Here is a pic with it open on another boat at the local dealer.

Thanks for the pics JBell. Yes....looks awesome. I've seen some of their work over the years. Definitely nice to have a few options to choose from. Your boat looks great. I like the color combo. One question....do you know the price difference between the double and triple axle Boatmate trailer? Have fun!!

[Gtsum2]

Nice Bimini! So you can actually roll it up or stow it per say and get much more sun than the the stock one, right? Kind of like on a Mastercraft? I think I’d like this as we like the factory Bimini coverage, but it makes for too much shade when done with the boat and the sea deck stays wet and damp and smells...I’d like some direct sunlight to be dry things out better. Again. Sharp looking boat. Love the colors

Ps - is this the same company that Boardco orders all their Biminiā€™s for their centurions??

What kind of brakes on that trailer?

[Kenv]

Johnny...I believe all Boatmate are still surge type...even the triple axles.......no electric on boat trailers with the exception of large offshore goosenecks probably.

That's not accurate. I have had electric-over-hydraulic brakes on every one of my G23 trailers since 2014. Ram-Lin offered it, EZ Loader offers it, Phoenix offers it, and I know Boatmate offers it. They work so much better than surge brakes for these heavy boats. My trailer stops my truck!

Thanks Jeff....I remember you talking about the electric-over-hydraulic a few years ago....but I thought you had it added to the trailer after the fact. Thanks for correcting me!

If I have a 2019 Chev Silverado 3/4 ton diesel--does the truck need anything additional to operate them?

I do not know the price difference. I don't like the looks of the double axle so I just told the dealer I waned a triple axle. It was not listed on my build sheet either. My guess would be that it is a 3k to 4k difference.

Yes. It is in it's stored position in my pictures. There is a boot you wrap around the bimini. Same as a MC or Malibu Bimini. And yes, Boardco Puts these Biminis on their boats as well. They are common around here because Bordco and Croft put them on all their boats.

To operate the brakes? No, it uses a 7 pin connection for electrical.
