I have similar problem as you. I have my bimini assembled and ready to mount. They did not have my slide track in stock but it is shipping out today. As TK showed me it is very easy to move the bimini. I will be installing track that is 2 feet long. That is a lot of leeway to move the bimini. Of course my boat is a stick steer but the concept is same. The 2 feet of track will allow me to have plenty of shade over me...or move it slightly rearward to get more shade over my girl friend in rear seat should she come along. It will also allow me to slide it rearward to lay perfectly on my rear deck cover yet not be in the motor. Without a slide track I could not really put one on my boat in the ideal place. I will post pics as soon as I get it installed on the boat. I am really looking forward to fishing under it as the heat is killing me. As TK showed me...and my boat manufacture told me....you can disconnect the support straps when you are on a spot fishing and they don't get in the way. Just make sure to remember to hook them back up before you blast off to next spot...LOL. They make a bimini for your boat model. There are several sites that sell biminis that have a drop down menu for you to select your boat model. But as they tell you take your own measurements to make sure. TK, notorious, and Merv really helped me decide to get one. Just a year or so ago I would go out on the water in the heat and stay all day. This year it is only about 4-5 hours and I have to go...sometimes less....so this bimini will give me a lot more time on the water. Some say to get a bimini you can stand under. I did not do that. The shorter the top the more the shade. It also depends on the boat. TK has a big boat.....as does Merv. If I got a bimini as tall as the ones they had it would really look out of place on my little boat. I got a 46 inch tall one and after my girlfriend and I set it up on my boat just to see how it looks we both agreed a 54 inch would have been too tall for my boat....of course you may need one that tall.
