Which one is best? It probably won't get used much, but I have to have one so that the wife & I can just go out w/o having another person on the boat.

I know somebody else on here has an opinion on which they like or dislike. Anything to stay away from maybe?

Let me elaborate...

If you can get a fixed mirror in the right position for you on your tower than it will be best. I already had the monster mirror when I bought my 211 and it works, I like it because I can quickly remove it when my boat goes into storage.

A few of my 6'2"+ friends have difficulty seeing under my mirror. If I was taller than 6' I would probably have an articulating mirror, but it works for me at 5'10".

Hmmm. I'm 6'4", but the wife is 5'4.5"(as she says it). Could I just mount it at the right height for me & then she could adjust the angle for her, almost like she would do in a car? I've never had one so I don't really know what to look for or how they work.

Eric,

That's probably who I am going to purchase from. I emailed them about a week ago about 2 3/8" mounts & they said they were already on order, but had no time frame yet so I'm hoping it's pretty soon. They area also going to be carrying bimini tower clamps too if anyone was wondering. They look like the Pyramid Manufacturing ones that are on ebay.
