Rebait

Thanks Glen-- It's a 1969 Crestliner-- 120 mercruiser IO. full welded aluminum. When I bought it I gutted it, redid all wiring, hydraulics, outdrive and new flotation below the floor. Created my own interior with a large "dance floor" for fishing Lake Erie. I left the patina because it took 50 plus years to earn that look! Greg

Hello Glen. I just came across this site and happened to see your question. I created an account to share my thoughts. I just installed a bimini on my boat last week but I reversed it front to back. When not in use it folds over the windshield and lays on the deck. When up I can fold it back 1 or 2 of the bows instantly depending on the fishing situation. Will never be in the way. The 2 rear braces are now at the front and attached with quick release pins I got from amazon. These pix are from the mock up but you can see the plan. Its pretty slick.
