Bimini top for starcraft boat

Bimini Top and Frame

Your boat’s Bimini top – a canvas shade supported by a collapsible frame – may be one of the most important ingredients for a pleasurable day on the water. Sometimes referred to as a canopy top or convertible boat top, it stands guard for you and your family, protecting you from harmful UV rays and preventing excessive exposure to the sun. It also folds easily and gets out of the way when it’s time to fish, ski, or jet across the water at high speeds. But a Bimini top with weathered fabric or a damaged frame won’t do its job as well as a new one.

With the help of AmeritexDirect, you can replace worn out Bimini top parts with brand new, identical replicas of the original. That’s because, if you can find your manufacturer and model listed here, we made the top for your boat when it was brand new, and we will remake it again for you now. It will be manufactured to the exact specifications provided by your boatbuilder. No struggling with aftermarket tops that don’t fit quite right and require new mounting holes to be drilled in your deck. And you have a choice. We’re happy to supply an entirely new Bimini boat top, complete with Bimini top frame. Or, if your frame is fine but your Bimini cover has seen better days, we can simply sew new replacement fabric, custom made for your existing frame.

A fresh new top for your boat will have it looking like new again. Find out if we offer one for your vessel here.

Determine the amount of coverage you want from you Bimini. Length options are 60”, 66”, 72” and 96”.

2) Determine Mounting Points

Select a point on each side of the boat that will be the middle of the Bimini based on the desired length. These are the mounting points and where you will attach your Bimini to our boat.

About Starcraft Boats

In the rural town of Goshen, Indiana in 1903, Arthur E. Schrock founded Starcraft and produced aluminum boats, instead of wooden boats like the competition. This started the company on the building blocks of innovation from the beginning. Then in 1958, they were one of the industries first to introduce fiberglass hulls to the market. The innovation from this company did not stop, and in 1965 they introduced the world’s first high-performance aluminum fishing boats with a Deep-V hull.

In 1969, the company was sold to a gentleman named Bangor Punta which would set in motion Bangor being one of five parties to own Starcraft. Bangor Punta grew the company in the same light as Arthur and grew it to the point of needing a bigger place and in 1980 they moved to Topeka, Indiana. In the late ’80s, Starcraft became a part of the Brunswick Group as well. But in 1996, Brunswick decided to divest itself from Starcraft and Doug Schrock, great-grandson of Arthur, purchased the company. But then later in the ’90s after that, Starcraft became a part of the Smoker Craft family and was moved to New Paris, Indiana where they are headquartered today.
