I have a *new to me* ‘97 203 Coast Runner and I’d like to get a Bimini top. Anyone have one and/or know what the original dimensions would be? The boat has a high freeboard so I’m concerned about a standard or average height being way too tall on this boat. Also, as 20’ bowriders go, the bow is smaller than average do I want to be sure what I get is long enough. I asked Four Winns on their website and haven’t seen a response yet. Thanks for any input!

I bought a complete bimini (frame, attaching hardware, and cover) on iboats about 6-7 years ago for a bow rider.
I spent some time measuring and just ordered a specific size because no one had my model either. They have a lot of different heights and widths you can pick and choose. I also ordered a longer 4 bow top for a small boat. Was the best upgrade I made to that boat. You can get many different fabrics and colors. I got the best sunbrella grade and it worked out very well. Was reasonably priced too.
btw, don't be too worried about exact width. If its a couple inches off they stretch pretty easy. As a matter of fact my factory bimini from Four Winns needed to stretch quite a bit to get to work. probably about 4 inches or more from rest.

Fatoldsun here are the dimensions of my bimini.

Closed position
Dead center from floor 53" tall
Sides from floor before the curve 48" tall

Open Position
5 feet long from front to back
42 inches tall from floor
78" wide from mounting eye to mounting eye
Side arms are 28" long

All dimensions with bimini sitting on the garage floor, not the floor of the boat. It still has the Four Winns factory label, this was OEM.

I may have pictures of it open it you want to see the look. It stands tall but no one ever bumps their head. I've also driven with it open for short distances without a problem.

Thanks! I’ve gotta figure out the notifications on this forum- I keep missing replies. Getting ready to launch next week.
