Are bimini tops universal fit??

I'm looking to get a Bimini top for my 12' SIB, I've seen some on amazon and some locally ranging anywhere from $140-$600.. 2 bow, 3 bow or 4 bow configurations, some with rear support poles....

My question is are these bimini tops all considered universal fit on inflatables? I know some use the oar locks, some use the eyelets on the tube grab rope areas...

My boat is 69" wide, so would I want a bimini top that is that width or slightly wider or slightly narrower?

I think I want a 3 bow bimini top vs a 2 bow because this would be more durable?

thoughts or suggestions?

bimini

I would not call bimini tops universal fit. You need to consider width as well as where it will lay when folded. Will it impede titling up your motor? All things to consider as well as height. Most are not gonna be tall enough to stand under on a small inflatable like that.

The one I am looking at or most that I am looking at that are affordable is 46" high, 6' long and 67-72" wide... I understand that I can't stand with that height, but its more for my young kids while on the water to provide some shade.. My boat is 69" wide so this top is right in the middle in terms of width..
