Carver or Taylormade Universal Biminis?
 

Has anybody had any experience with either the Carver or Taylormade Universal Tower Biminis? Both are under $400. The Carver looks pretty solid for the price, esp after getting two $1000+ quotes at the boat show today.

I had two Taylormade mounted on my last boat. They lasted a long time and were really well built from what I remember. They were the normal ones that don't mount to the tower.

I was pretty close to buying the carver one but the started measuring and realized how much smaller they were than a custom towerbiminis.com one would be on my boat. It would have looked a bit stupid on my 23' boat even with the largest one. I think my tower biminis one ended up being like 12-14" longer and wider than the universal one would have been. Still it didn't seem like a very good value at like $750.
