The bimini I bought is from Leader Accessories (Amazon). It is 46" in height. I chose the 67" - 72" width as I measured the center of the beam to be 72" at mount. My wife is 5' tall and can stand under it (her head just brushes the fabric). I am 6' tall. I decided I would rather crouch to move under it than have it so tall that it reduces the sun protection. I positioned to provides fishing clearance for the front and rear post seats, and also so that when it is in down position it falls just inside the rear fishing seat post. I can still open the rear storage with the top down. I added a "S" hook under the rear seat post so that I can use a small bungee to tie it down when trailering. I strongly recommend the burgundy color as it looks great with the brown and orange/red stripes. My block letters are also orange/red from BPS. So I think it looks sharp and does the trick. The mounting for the bimini is plastic, but if it breaks I can replace with SS. I saw another post where they purchased the next size width. I think this larger width would work fine also. When the my bimini is down, the poles rest about 3" in from sides. So I am happy with my width, but you could go with the 73 - 78" width also. I preferred the poles to rest completely inside the top rails of the boat when in the down position. I don't have a pic with the bimini laid down on my phone.

I just joined and this is my first reply/post. I received my Heritage in July and added a burgundy bimini. Had it in the water this past weekend, and in the AZ sun it proved to be an amazing addition. Total cost was $130 and well worth the money. In cooler months, I may take it off and leave in the garage (2 thumb screws to remove). I didn't fish as I was just getting some hours on the motor. I attached pic of boat with bimini. One other comment, this boat performed better than I expected. Faster that I expected, more stable than expected, easy to tow and launch. Really happy with this purchase.
