How to choose Bimini Tops & Boat Covers

Bow count and mounting width decide the fit. The 11 reviews here, all from Leader Accessories, are 4 three-bow bimini tops (6 feet long, 46 inches high), 4 four-bow tops (8 feet long, 54 inches high), a replacement canvas, a runabout boat cover and a pair of rear support poles, from $36.99 to $159.99. The three-bow tops come in six widths from 54-60 to 85-90 inches and the four-bow tops in seven, up to 91-96. The listing's method is to pick the pivotal mounting point on each side of the boat, measure the distance between them for width, and measure straight up from that point for height. Prices differ by color listing, and four of the eight tops are flagged as discounted: the three-bow tops cost $99.99 in burgundy and Pacific blue, $119.99 in beige and $149.99 in white, and the four-bow tops $159.99, or $139.99 in Pacific blue.

All the tops use 600D polyester canvas with double overlapped stitching: the three-bow listings offer 600D polyester or 600D solution-dyed fabric, and the white one lists the solution-dyed only. Frames are 1-inch aluminum with double-walled main bow legs, free quick-release mounts and stainless hardware. Eight listings cap boat speed at 25 MPH with the top open. Three of the three-bow listings include a stainless rear support pole, while the white three-bow and all four four-bow kits do not mention one; Leader sells a pair of adjustable poles separately for $36.99, extending 95 to 105 cm. The $49.99 canvas has no frame and comes in 54 size and color combinations, so match bow count, length, height and width to your frame.

Every review of this type comes from one store, Leader Accessories, so the terms are shared. It ships only within the 48 continental US. Orders of $70 or more ship free and smaller ones pay a flat $10, which applies to the canvas and the support poles when ordered alone; the boat cover's only option in stock on Oct 27, 2026 costs $74.98 and clears it. Processing takes 1 to 2 business days and transit 2 to 6. Returns are accepted within 30 days, with a prepaid label only for defective, wrong or incomplete items; a change of mind is at your cost, and exchanges are possible within 24 hours of ordering. Sale items are excluded from returns, and 4 of the 11 reviews flag the item as discounted. Only the runabout cover states a warranty, 2 years limited.

Look elsewhere if you need a bimini top in stock: 7 of the 11 reviewed items, every four-bow top and three of the four three-bow tops, were listed out of stock at the last check. The runabout cover lists models A to G by length and beam and recommends support poles that are not included.

Questions before you buy

How do I measure for a bimini top?

Per Leader's listing, pick the pivotal mounting point on each side of the boat, measure the distance between the two for width, and measure straight up from that point for height. Then choose the bow count and width band: three-bow tops are 6 feet long and 46 inches high in widths of 54-60, 61-66, 67-72, 73-78, 79-84 or 85-90 inches; four-bow tops are 8 feet long and 54 inches high and add a 91-96 inch band.

What is the difference between a 3-bow and a 4-bow bimini top?

Size and shade area. The four 3-bow tops are 6 feet long and 46 inches high, in six widths, at $99.99 to $149.99. The four 4-bow tops are 8 feet long and 54 inches high, in seven widths, at $139.99 to $159.99, and the listings say they suit boats that need more coverage than the 6-foot version. Both use 1-inch aluminum frames with double-walled main bow legs and 600D polyester canvas.

How fast can I go with a bimini top up?

The eight bimini top listings state a maximum of 25 MPH with the top open. Our reviews record no figure for a folded top, so ask Leader Accessories if you need one.

Can I replace just the canvas on a bimini top?

Yes, if the frame is sound. The $49.99 canvas is canvas only: one canvas and a color-coordinated storage boot, with no frame or poles, in 54 size and color combinations. Leader says it suits its standard 3-bow and 4-bow tops and most bimini tops on the market, so match the bow count, length, height and width to your frame before ordering.

What size trailerable boat cover do I need?

The runabout cover ($66.98 to $119.98; only Green Model B, at $74.98, was in stock on Oct 27, 2026) comes in models A to G keyed to boat length and beam, from 14-16 feet with beams up to 68 inches to 22-24 feet with beams up to 116 inches. If your measurement falls on the maximum length of a range, the listing says to move up a size. Only Model C has an outboard cutout; the others are cut for outboards and inboards. Support poles are recommended but not included, and a 2-year limited warranty is listed.

Can I return a bimini top to Leader Accessories?

Within 30 days. Defective, wrong or incomplete items get a prepaid label; if you change your mind you pay the return shipping, and exchanges are possible within 24 hours of ordering, before the item ships. Sale items are excluded from returns, and 4 of the 11 reviews flag the item as discounted. Leader ships only within the 48 continental US, free on orders of $70 or more and a flat $10 below that.
