I did mine in the spring, my old top was shot on the Seavee. I used starlight xl 1/4 inch, slightly over drilled the starlight for any expansion then drilled and tapped the loop or frame of my t-top and bolted it down with s/s fasteners coated with tef-gel then 4200 to seal up the fasteners. Then I used some white flex-trim to dress the edges up. The weight was pretty minimal at 50 lbs per sheet 60" x 96". The xl cost $55 a sheet from a local plastic's company. Got the flex-trim from marine liquidators in Fla.

I fish every day in some pretty crappy conditions and it looks like the day I put it down.

Also my loop or top is flat front to back and bows down from port to starboard. If yours is a Birdstall top it might be hard to do as most have a step in the top or two t-top loops if that makes sense.
