Have ordered this T-Top shade for our 175. It will attach to the rear rail of stock Bimini. Looking forward to longer time "on the water". Will post more pics when installed.

Go2Marine. They have them on sale now for $483 plus freight, tax.
#485437 Taylor Made T-Top Boat Shade Kit, 4' x 5'.
I plan to mount a couple of nice rod holders at the transom corners or on my swim platform to hold the adjustable rear support poles. The unit should arrive tomorrow so I will checkout my attaching options.

Wow, thats a lot more that I thought it would be. I'm going to get a hold of the guy that made my custom bimini and see what he'd charge. Then I can also ensure it's made of the same Sunbrella fabric and I'll know the color will match.
Will still love to see pics when you get your up!

Jasongind,
One of the features of this one is that it has about 20% stretch thereby negating additional framework or tieoffs to keep it taught. If you were to use Sunbrella then it wouldn't stretch out well and would flap in the wind while underway. The product is black which will match my Bimini. This kit is rated for up to 30 knots.

Interesting. Does it snap or attach to the back of the Bimini is some way? I assume for that price ot comes with whatever poles and hardware to install it as well.

I wondered too. My Bimini is black so it matches. The mfg states that "sun" side of fabric has heat reflecting product woven in. Very comfortable underneath. Liking it so far.
