[Rhodes22-list] Bimini reply to Sheldon ...

[Ron Singerman]

Ed,

The hardware that is used to attach the bracktes to the gunwale, is it
bolted through and through or is the Bimini held down with the equivilant
of wood screws? Also, what would the anterior-posterior dimension of the
Bimini be?

Thanks,
