What inspired you to launch your own website?
I was inspired to create my website because: I have been in the business for 15 years locally. Every on kept telling me how difficult it was to find a quality Bimini top at a reasonable price. 90% of Bimini tops on he market have a mark up of about 500% I knew I could sell the same product for less. I know most people can pay what most os the "well known" online bimini top retailers are asking.
