I strongly recommend that you get your Bimini top from Mills Canvas, Whalers original supplier, with canvas specifically designed for the boat. It will fit, and look, perfect, and comes with complete installation instructions and all fittings needed. In your case, you want the "Sun Top and Boot". This is premium quality equipment, with SS frame and Sunbrella fabric, and is designed to stow forward, inside the bow rail. You can select the fabric color of your choice, but I recommend the standard "Pacific Blue", or the light tan "Toast" color.

Go to millscanvas.com

Avoid any Sun top that stows to the transom, or even worse, must be stowed "in the air", supported on a pair of legs. Those are terrible, and not appropriate to a Montauk.
