Please describe the project specifications

This is a top for sun protection for a fireboat that operates out of Lake Havasu and was built here in Washington State. They needed the top to be strong as this forward facing bimini has to withstand high speeds over 60 MPH and not blow to pieces! Also the framework couldn't interfere with the main firehose.


What is unique or complex about the project?

I entered this project as I think the frame design is unique and does hold up to high speeds and doesn't move when that boat is ripping across the water. I think it looks really cool and works really well, basically what you want to achieve on all projects!
