Also, keep in mind, the lower priced unit will need to be taken down, stowed and redeployed between outings. This will cut into your leisure time and most likely be a source of continued foul language and regret.

Re: Carver 3207 aft Bimini Project
A Bimini on its own is a great idea as it will give you the ability to sit on the back and protect you from the sun and rain. Great idea. I agree with buster53, bite the bullet and get one made. If it's not done right it may not look right. I have also seen people use a triangular shaped fabric that could be attached to your flybridge canvass and then to flexible graphite poles on the aft rail. This would be a temporary sun block you would put up only when you need it.
A Bimini would/could be more permanent. Good luck with your decision.

No worse feeling than sitting there holding this junk sail and people looking at you like you are an idiot.

The wind came and went when I was on the Delta, which connects to the bay. if its windy here, never fun for boating. When it picked up, that's when I was in idiot mode.
BTW, I covered the spread today.
