Abstract: An overhead storage system for a boat bimini top comprising an elongated unitized backing material. The backing material has a front end, a rear end, a left and right side, a top surface, and bottom surface. Attached to the bottom surface of the backing material is a series of storage pockets. The storage pockets are of varying sizes and are generally rectangular in shape and have a hinged lid. Along the bottom left and right side of the backing material is an edge channel housing a telescoping pole. The telescoping poles provide support and structure to the backing material and storage pockets. At the bow end of each telescoping pole is a V-shaped bend, which generally conforms to the contour of a bimini shade cover. Mounted perpendicular to the telescoping poles and below the backing material, are several spreader bars. On the top side of the backing material are a series of support battens and batten sleeves which keep the backing material from sagging.

Abstract: A water ski with a short and broad ski body and having a forebody, midbody, and tail rocker and a top and bottom surface. Affixed to the top surface is foot binding having a right and left boot. The right and left boot are mounted on the right and left side respectively of the longitudinal centerline of the ski body by means of a binding plate which is adjustable either forward or rearward on the ski body. Just behind the heel clamp of the binding assembly is the transverse center of the stabilizing fin. The fin blade protrudes through a slot in the ski body downward through the ski body. The fin is affixed to the top surface of the ski body by the fin fixing flange. The bottom surface of the ski body has a bevel along the entire perimeter and a concave tunnel that begins at the tail and ends at the forbody. Between the bevel and concave tunnel is a flat rail the is generally parallel to the top surface of the ski body.
