Bimini Tops, need info

[SS MAYFLOAT]

Planning on purchasing two new tops for my boat. One for the bridge and one for the aft deck.<br /><br />Which is the most durable, the sharkskin, or the sunberella? I would like your comments before I send iboats $500. I hope that makes the mods happy. <br /><br />Thanks......SS

SS Mayfloat,I have had many a great experience with sunbrella.It is strong and virtually indestructable,even if you use bleach on it.Make sure what you are getting is trade mark Sunbrella.There are many fabrics just like sunbrella but they are not as thick.Sunbrella will hold shape when you handle it,you can feel the thickness.I have had both on my boats and the sunbrella is superior.My opinion from experience is the sunbrella will be the right choice.Raven Mills is the largest distributor and producer of Sunbrella.I have purchased some odd size pieces on ebay to make some covers for my hatches and seats.Charlie

As stated above... Sunbrella is the better of the two.
