I would love to have an option for additional rigid supports that would make it stronger. The Bimini top setup from the factory is so flimsy it's scary. In fact, a few years ago I was cruising down the James River when suddenly and without warning the thumb-screw (one of the two that support the entire top) on the STBD side sheared off and the top fell.

thats the reason i asked..a dockmate has a GW 205 bowrider...and they come with the supports plus it looks like it would be easier to fold the top back instead of leaning it foward

thanks
