I recall it was Great Lakes Boat Top
https://greatlakesboattop.com/boston-whaler
If you have the old one, you can replace it with a Carver. They make high quality products. Measure your height, width. They are sold via resellers.

I tried source a new Bimini top from GREAT LAKES BOAT TOPS. They said they only made a Bimini top for the 2008 205 EASTPORT
Q2: are the 2008 205 CONQUEST and the 2008 205 EASTPORT the same boat?
I will give also contact CARVER.
PHIL--Thank you.

Another instance of the geniuses at Whaler marketing showing off their scattershot naming convolutions.
Yes; the 205 Eastport was renamed the 205 Conquest.
Just like the 190 Nantucket was renamed the 190 Outrage
Same boat, different name.

In c.2008--which was the 50th Anniversary of Boston Whaler--the use of place names like EASTPORT and NANTUCKET was a revival of the initial boat model names with place names, like the NAUSET, EASTPORT, SAKONNET, and, of course, the MONTAUK.
Apparently there was a change in direction for the model names a year or so later, and the 205 EASTPORT became the 205 CONQUEST, and the 190 NANTUCKET became the 190 OUTRAGE.
