Mine came with the boat, I don't know what "size" it is considered, but it is about 76" wide at the base and about 55" high when folded up, probably a little less when spread.  It does work, the boom just barely clears it when sailing.  If you plan to use it while sailing, important to get a reference measurement bottom of the boom to top of the mount points to make sure it will work.  Or buy one slightly larger and cut the tubes to fit.

Check your PM's.

I bought one the same size that Capt Kirk mentions in an old post on this site.

It worked perfectly.

Now, others have found that it was too tall. I think that part depends on the cut of your sail.

Good luck!

We use ours at all times in the sun. My wife is a 2rd generation Pacific Northwest American born Dane (grandfather immigrated to Idaho) and very  fair skinned and sunburns easily down here...

Like Brackish mentioned, I bought as close as I could, and had to cut for height to get under the boom. I have a crowded stern area due to a traveler that was added in the past, so I  added long tracks alongside the jib tracks. With the Bimini all the way forward I can open it all the way, but have to crawl out to go forward. All the way back on the tracks and I have to fold up the rear half to clear the mainsheet and traveler, but I can easily go forward..and the whole thing can be slide forward and folded on the cabin top.

I think  my final cut down size was  60 long, 78 wide, 40 high.
