    Question Canopy for bass boat ?

    Thinking about putting a canopy on the bass boat for wife and 11 month old. Really would never want to put holes in the boat but know if I take the wife and baby i'll be able to fish more. Anyone have suggestions ? Still have a bad feeling about drilling holes wanting something I can remove for tournament day thanks....

    I have a couple of friends that have them on Allison's. I have thought about getting one for mine a few times.

    They pin on and off so easy to remove for fishing.

    I had a friend rig a patio umbrella that fit down in the seat base in the floor of his boat that worked great.

    We used umbrellas on the back of the seats when I was younger

    I have one I put on during the hot part of Summer! They're easy to remove.
    I pulled it from my old boat before I sold it so it's royal blue instead of teal but I wouldn't do without it!
    It was an all but brand new Sunbrella or I wouldn't have kept it.
    I'd trade it for a teal color if someone had one needing blue....meantime it don't look bad as it is.
    Weight is zilch and the comfort is unbeatable.....I've cruised up to 55 with it up with no problems!

    I put a tube of foam pipe insulation on the back brace bar to keep from skinning up the deck when retracted!
    The only trick is to measure and be sure to get the anchors square with the deck, especially around the auxilary fuel tank fill cap....do it 1st and then the starboard side you can match. If you do the starboard side 1st then you may not be able to match the port side!
    Works Great!!

    i put one that is 10 ft on the moodcraft, two small clamps front and back and and clip in brackets that takes no time to remove, money well spent
