Member Personal Page Posts: 107 Comments: 0 Joined: 10/23/09	Im thinking about buying a bimini top for my 93 Dauntless from Cabelas. They have two materials which are sharkskin or sunbrella. The sunbrella material is about $70 more. Does anyone have any opinions about these two materials? Thanks, John
