t-top or bimini top for a jon boat

We have a '79 Fisher Marine 16 foot jon boat. We want to build a top for shade. I have seen the top on one of the Swamp People’s boat on the history channel. That is what I am thinking of. Does anybody know of a kit or plans for such a thing?

i like the shade they have on that boat too. but their boat is 21’+. i have a feeling it would not work as well on a 16 footer. i could be wrong, but i’d just go with a bimini.

Mikeyloo, are you talking about Trapper Joe and Tommy’s boat?

I ain’t sure. I’m gonna have to watch the show to be sure.

Bimini top for sure. You’ll want to be able to remove it at times and it only takes a few seconds to get a bimini top on and off the boat. The big top would get in the way fishing under docks and gigging and whatnot.
