On Today’s episode of Fishing Is Therapy we review and install a quality boat bimini top made by KEMIMOTO on my 1448 jon boat. PRODUCT LINK: KEMIMOTO Bimini Top for Boat www.amazon.com/kemimoto-Bimin...
One of the best things I did to my boat for sure. I treat mine with Star Brite Waterproofing once a year. My top is 5 years old and looks new. I replaced the back supports with straps like the front to fold flat. I pull mine super tight. If you reach up and pull from the corner while latching it you can get it tight and all the w waviness & flapping while riding will go away. Nice job.
Great install video dude. I saw a recent video from another channel on putting the smallest version on a kayak. Ill be borrowing fron both videos for my 1232 jon boat
Good to see you Chris, looks like you made some good mods on the boat. Had a great day Saturday and caught 11 largemouth bass. Biggest one was 2 lb 13 oz. The rest were only about a pound or so. Do you still use the foam blocks when transporting the kayak?
Yes I do Glenn, I think I may replace the Velcro as they are getting a but loose but I do use them. Sounds like you had a great day, 11 bass day is very good. Good to hear you are doing well.
@fishingistherapy I'm still toying with the idea of upgrading my kayak seat but need something that is going to keep my center of gravity low. My friend bought a Pelican seat for his Tamarack and it sits high but he also has inflatable pontoons he attaches to it.
Hey bud. Love the videos. I just ordered the same top for my 14 foot jon boat. Do you think I will have any problems running the stock plastic bases? It looked like your metal ones didn’t fit perfectly as they were curved too much. Just wanted to know your thoughts because if the plastic ones are fine I will use them
If you have round gunwales then you might want to try the curve ones, but the flat ones can work for sure on the rounded gunwalesband definitely on flat gunwale or miunting surface you just have to mark your spot really well before drilling, but I wanted that extra grip on the surface area so I went with what you see. Hopefully that helps.
@@fishingistherapy Awesome. My boat rails are rounded just like yours I just wanted to make sure that the plastic ones weren’t known to fail. It can be windy on the river I run. Thanks
