I have a 17' Seaswirl Tempo that has a convertible top. I'm very interested in purchasing a bimini top instead. My side windows are mounted on the very outside edge of the gunwales and are angled in at approx 15 degrees so mounting my main support inside or outside the side windows is not feasible as far as I know unless I were to place the mount on the outside of the gunwales. From the FAQs I've been reading about Bimini's, if you were to purchase a 6' top, approx 3'2" would extend forward from the main mount. If my main mount was right behind the side windows, I would need approx 4' 5" to cover to the front windsheild. An 8' top gets me closer to that 4' 5" figure, but I don't really want an 8' bimini. I say all of that to ask, is covering from the windsheild back the norm or am I overthinking this? Any suggestions?
