a "skin",you can make just a skin - provided there's antenna plates on the framing

use the mold,wax it,coat it out in gel,and lay up some matting - 1.5chop strand,2 layers of 1708,and another layer on 1.5 chop strand...gel coat the exposed side -done...


the mold you've got - angled radar mount made into it ?

if it were me,i would use a foam composite - no way on wood coring for a hard top...
