My bimini top is leaking. I put weatherproof on it and it's still leaking alot. The issue is the sides and aft curtin are all good just the top bimini is leaking. Do you guys know can I just take the top part of the bimini to repair shop they use it as template and create a new one. I dont want to change the whole enclose as that's a lot of $ it's a bayliner 245 boat

Any canvas shop can replace it - no problem. He will also need all of the other components so he can match the zippers.

how big is the top. canvas is about $25 a yard for sunbrella

also, get multiple quotes. this time of year is the busy season. prices are higher than say 4 months ago.

Most of the cost is labor. A plain top would not be that much, but fitting all of the side pieces will add to the cost.

Sounds extremely high if its is just an average size top with zippers.You should be able to have a dupe made for 4-$600 Charlie
