What amount of drag does a bimini top create for a pontoon boat. I realize it would be different but, has anyone had experience with it?

Minimal... You already have a massive amount of aero drag, the increase from a bimini is barely measurable.

you really won't notice it under way, sometimes when docking it may catch wind blowing you off course sideways at idle, but only on windy days. Hard tops catch more wind and are noticeable but just enjoy the bimini.
