More details to this question:
We traded in our small boat to buy a pontoon boat. We got a loan for a pontoon boat from a dealer with the purchase order, first he picked up our boat and sold it within 5 days with our plate on the trailer witch he was asked to take off and return to us. The new owner never registered under new ownership, I investigated online to the dmv to find out 8 weeks later. Told the dealership and didn't care so had to get it canceled. Then after hassle with the loan as the dealer gave the wrong hin # to finally get the pontoon ready for delivery. The dealer said the Bimini was on coastguard recall and would be ready to install in 2 weeks, well it took 3 months and we ended up purchasing the Bimini thru the manufacturer in Ga. as the dealer said he would not pay. He lied to us the whole time as it turned out to be a stressful situation for two senior ladies who got ripped off. The Bimini was part of the standard purchase as we had already paid him for it. We want our money back

You are probably not going be able to use failure to include a bimini top that you already replaced as a basis for rscinding the purchase. You can try but it will likelt be a very expensive lawsuit effort with low success rate.You might be able to sue for the cost of the bimini top if it was listed in the sales docs and not provided but it might not be worth the invesment in legal fees to do so.
