by Raymond from northport, New York on July 26, 2016
I was very careful with giving Alex my ski tower dimensions. I went over the fact that I only have 60 inches between the uprights of the tower. I asked her several times are you sure the bimni top will fit the tower. She put me on hold and then came back and said yes it will fit. It did NOT fit and you charge 25% for returns.

American Made
by Kevin from Owatonna, Minnesota on August 12, 2012
Very happy with this bimini top. It was easy to install. American made products will help bring this country back. I could have purchased a cheaper one but not made in America. I had to cut the brace poles to shorten them for our boat and re-rivet the bracket. Easy to do when you have a rivet gun. Put the main brackets on the top side of the window frame. I can stand up in this and keep cool and dry. Extends just 4 inches past the windshield so the rain will drip onto the windshield. Installed on a 1995 Bayliner 1704 Carpri SF with a 120 hp Merc outboard. Kevin Candi Owatonna, Minnesota. USA

Good Product

Good product, connects as advertised. Ordered the stainless fitting upgrade with the bimini and the brace kit at the same time. The brace kit didn't come with the stainless fittings (thought it would have, otherwise an option would have been presented), and had to be purchased separately so that the appearance was consistent.

Not good
by Daniel from Fort Worth, Texas on June 26, 2017
The clamps that hold the adjustable poles up do not hold very well. Even after tightening them they slid down so I ended up cutting them off and turned it into fixed poles. Also the set screw on the clamps would not thread. Seemed that the plastic threads were stripped out when I got them. I am going to have to replace all fittings with stainless steel as the plastic ones are cheap and likely wont last.

Before I purchase can some one tell me
by Arthur from Mayetta, New Jersey on July 08, 2012
I purchased a Taylormade product,it didn't bolt right up,you had to be able to slide the bracket through the main hoop(aluminum arch),which meant you had to drill out the plastic bottom mount rivet on the ends of the pole to get them through. Do I have to do the same with this product or is this a an open end mount that I can wrap around and then bolt or screw tight on the main hoop?

Return policy
by Mary from Pound, Wisconsin on September 14, 2019
I believed I was going to receive a top for a 2006 Misty Harbor and I received a generic top. When I tried to return the item, not only did I have to pay for the shipping back but also a 20% restocking. The only reason a company charges a restocking fee is because they know their products are bad and will be returned. Will NEVER purchase from iBoats again.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent brace kit
by Richard from Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina on August 19, 2014
I considered several brace kits before ordering the ENDURATop kit. It has proven to be an excellent addition to my 1996 Aquasport 225 Explorer bimini. The kit has made a relatively flimsy bimini substantial. Would definitely buy again, and definitely recommend to anyone in search of a brace kit. Quality product, best price in the market. Complete and easy to install.

Nice Top - Easy to Install
by Jonathan from Columbia, South Carolina on August 08, 2013
The top was just as ordered. It's very nice especially with the stainless steel hardware. This was easy to assemble and I had it ready to go on the boat in about 30 minutes by myself. Install on the boat took 15 minutes with another person. There was no bending or forcing to get it on the boat and I couldn't be happier with the quality and look. I would definitely recommend these tops to anyone looking for one.

Great quality product, although we won't really have it on the river to use until the summer of 2013. It was easy to install. We're glad we upgraded to stainless steel fittings. Thank you iboats!

Wrong Specs
by Milan from Hutto, Texas on August 31, 2012
I recieved the wrong item, either the specs you use on your site to determine the right product are off, or you sent me the completely wrong item. Either way, I have sent it back and have been waiting for a reply.

loose fitting top
by Clarence from Rock Island, Illinois on August 15, 2012
easy to assemble but it doesn't fit tought enough and when it rains the top holds water on top, haven't drilled out center bow stops and adjusted it up yet this may fix the problem, other than that looks great

Outstanding quality of Braces for Bimini Top
by Steve from Roswell, Georgia on August 14, 2012
Even though I ordered the wrong part, and landed up returning the braces, they were of outstanding quality. Much better than the ones I currently had on my boat!

pretty good
by Kelli from David City, Nebraska on August 06, 2012
They rivet the bottom eye on the rod. If you cut it shorter you have to drill out the rivet and put a screw in it. A good set screw would have been better. Overall it works good

Bimini
by Jeffrey from Memphis, Tennessee on July 21, 2012
Cheap, flimsy, cheaply made. The best thing about top is fabric. The structure of frame too thin(steel bars) and flaps around in the wind. VERY DISAPPOINTED, SQUARE TUBES on the frame is the only way to build this.
