I had a t-top on my 21 outrage but I felt it just did not provide enough coverage from the sun or rain. So when I downsized to a 17 Montauk I decided to go to a bimini top. It was first installed on a rail and stayed folded toward the front and outside the front rail. Then I decided to get rid of the rail and fold it toward the back. I just keep it down and it rest on the side rails when we are inshore fishing. I normally have it up and then open it up to get out of the sun. I added 3 rod holders and for me this has been a better set up than a t-top. My buddy has a 1.25" main bow on his bimini and it is a beast.
