[QUOTE="Jonboat Jerry, post: 303205, member: 6334"] Hi NugHunter, The Golf Cart top will generate a couple of issues. 1 It's weight, that high, is going to make your 15' jon very sensitive to rolling. 2 It's weight is going to make the boat ride a little deeper. 3 It's drag is going to slow your boat down when running and increase fuel consumption. 4 It's drag is also going to make it more difficult to hold your position when the wind is up at your fishing spot. 5. Bimini's don't have most of the issues since they can be retracted when running and they are lighter. You still get pushed around at anchor. That's my 2C, I'm sure a few others will comment pro and con. Welcome to Tin Boats.......Jerry :) [/QUOTE]
