Quality product, would benefit from different deck hinges
by Chris from Scottsdale, Arizona on September 28, 2017
Brace kit works well, high quality materials. My only dislike is the deck hinges provided are the screw-in type, which makes it difficult to raise and lower. These types are not bad for more permanent installations like the main Bimini attachment points, but for a brace kit I think it would have been better to provide hinges with quick release pins since it is typical to raise and lower frequently when covering the boat, etc.

High speed tested
by James from Honolulu, Hawaii on September 02, 2017
We got the back brace, added two tie downs to the front, and tested this Bimini at 45mph with a 15 mph headwind and major pounding seas. It works great. Need to update rivets are used, not screws on instruction sheet.

No screws
by Steve from Wilmington, North Carolina on August 08, 2017
After paying well over 1000 dollars my top arrived without the necessary screws. We were on vacation when it finally arrived and spent several hours looking for screws that would work. I wasted a half day as the size marked on instructions were not correct. So,back to hardware store. I am still waiting to put it on since my only helper has been out of town and I wasted three hours of their time looking for screws. Hopefully it fits as I am quite sure it is past return availability.

Bimini Top and Brace Kit - TOP QUALITY!!
by Clifton from Harpswell, Maine on December 15, 2015
I have a 17 foot Triumph Center Console and I ordered a Bimini Top with stainless steel supports. It arrived fully constructed and was so easy to install on my boat! I could not be more happy with this product and the service that I received from iBoats.com!

Beats the straps
by Rebecca from Reston, Virginia on August 25, 2015
These work great but may require some creativity to fit your boat. I had to cut mine to get a proper fit, which wasn't a big deal. What was is the requirement to place the claw near the very top of the bimini frame this is needed to get proper tension on the canvas, but not very clear in Carvers instructions.

Bimini bust
by David from Dickinson, Texas on May 26, 2014
The 48" kit stood 59" tall and had to be cut down to fit. Frames are weak because they are rivited together at the bends to facilitate cheap shipping. Worst of all, the canvas did not fit the bows at all and had to be altered by a local canvas shop. Very poor product. Sold under the name of EnduraCover but was actually Carver brand......

Mildly disappointed
by Glenn from North Port, Florida on July 24, 2012
The bimini top was delivered on time and in good condition. However, the website that I ordered from (iboats.com) states that there will be "step-by-step" instructions included. There were no instructions included what-so-ever. I called the 1-800 #, and was advised to call the manufacturer (Carver)because they only sell the product, not service it. After some discussion I was emailed the instructions from iboats.com. The instructions were clear, except that it listed #8 1/2" screws to join the stainless poles together. There was a rivet tool included with my order - without rivets or instructions. A trip to Lowes to buy rivets and a quick instruction from the salesman was a life saver. I did have everything together in about an hour and set it up on the boat which took about 30 minutes. It looks nice. The width is perfect, the height is perfect, but the six foot bimini is only 5 1/2 foot instead of six - which puts the seat forward of the center console in the drip line or in the sun. Overall - I will not be a return customer. Get your bimini from someone local if at all possible. The internet is such a risk. For $818 I feel iboats came up short.

Measure Carefully Before You Order
by Gordon from Mobile, Alabama on September 19, 2011
Unlike the aluminum bar, the stainless steel brace bars are not easily modified. Carver recommends moving the mounting hardware aft to obtain the proper fit. In my case the boat is simply not long enough and I had to buy a tubing cutter and drill out the rivets to fit the brace. If you are not comfortable with cutting and drilling stainless steel, then assess the dimensions of your boat carefully before you place your order.
