I've only had one long tow at highway speeds. As my H200 was brand new at the time, I removed the bimini completely, and ran without any canvas. THe gotcha for me was leaving the cockpit snap in carpet in place. A couple snaps came loose and apparently one end of the carpet flapped around in the cockpit. No damage to the boat, thankfully, but the carpet edging frayed in a small area, and I had 'black dust' from the carpet backing all through the back of the boat - some even got into the engine compartment! Needless to say if you run without the bow cover at highway speeds, remove and stow snap in carpeting.
