Yiddil,
I went to [url]www.Iboats.com [/url] and bought the top there. Here are the exact specs of my top of off the invoice: 4663S Sharkskin Top & Boot (Shark Blue). To see how it will look on your 13, take a look at my PP. I have a 1966 13.

Henry,
The width is 61-65 inches. The length and height you will have to decide. The best way to decide height is to stand in the boat and put a tape on the gunnal. Since from the floor to the mounting brackets is about 15 inches, you can add that to the height of the bimini tops. A 5 foot Bimini will cover most of te center of the boat depending on where you actually end up mounting it.

Henry,
depends on if you plan to stand up and want to walk around. If you do, then you need a total of 6 foot from the deck to the bimini, which really means a bimini height of 57 / 60 Inches or so. As for the length, they hinge in the middle, so take a tape 6 foot long and see if it covers what you want. If not go 8 foot, although I believe the 6 foot will cover since the seat clamps are only 63 inches long, the 6 foot will cover the entire seating area.

I don`t personally care for tall Bimini tops on small boats. The taller it is the less shade you get. My top only gives me about 4-6" of headroom when I am sitting. The seat is mounted on top of the seat clamps so it`s 4 " higher than normal. Any top with a 5 foot width + or - will fit width wise. Here is a picture of my top I got from E-Bay a couple of years ago. It still looks like new. The material is vinyl covered canvas, I guess that is what you would call it. Also notice the sides hang down about 6 ". It gives a lot of shade. It is aluminum, stainless is very heavy. It wasn`t very expensive either.
