Advice

hey i am looking for any advice or help from any one, especially W(i know he is good with T tops) on how to install this on my boat, I have a 16foot xpress with side console steering, not sure if i should put it on the front or back deck, or just mount it in the middle of my boat half over the side console or completely over the side console, if i do that then do you think my boat will list to the starboard side cause of the extra weight?

try to keep this from going in the gill net so i can get as much help as i can

I would put it in the middle. I like my bimini but it get's in the way on my 16ft.

How much does that puppy weigh? I would worry about the extra weight in your 16 ft rig. Maybe consider a small removable top like those from Canvas USA: http://www.canvasusa.com/Performance...7f870dbe41365c

Put on front deck as a casting platform and mount your trolling motor to it with a 100" shaft. Should be able to sight fish really well

What size motor you running on that express?

Get you a 225 and you could probably catch some nice air with that T-Top. Look at that wooden electronics box too. Should keep your chart plotter nice and dry.
