FYI - there were 2 different types of bows/mounts used on the original Seafari Navy tops and camper canvas.
The early ones like mine were mounted down on the side of the coaming just above the gunnel. The aft bow was long enough that it allowed the top to drop down in front of the windshield when folded to minimize windage, and there are a couple of vinyl straps on the coaming that secure the folded top for trailering. Later models had the bow mounted on top of the windshield wings. I'm not sure the how this top folds, but I don't think it could lay down in front of windshield because of the narrower bows; maybe it lays down on top of the windshield.
I personally prefer the earlier mounting style because it allows the top to fold down in front of windshield. If you want to add a suntop to cover the aft part of the cockpit, I'd attach it to a slider track on top of the coaming aft of the windshield to allow more options for folding it. That way when the front top is folded down, you can slide it forward and lay it down on top of the windshield, tie it to the aft bow of front top when it's up, or slide it aft and lay it down on top of the transom. If I had made my suntop about 6-12" longer, I could also unfold it and snap it to the bimini and slide it all the way forward but not open the forward bow so then it would just slope all the way down to the transom and provide a fair amount of protection for someone who wanted to sleep on the full width back seat overnight!
Be advised that you CAN'T stand up at the helm with the original navy top unless you unsip the panel above the helm which allows you to stick your head up thru the top. When my original Navy top wore out, I had new bows made for a bimini which has about 6'6" of headroom under it that allows you to stand any time. Although the navy top provided better spray and sun protection during the Bahama crossings, I prefer the bimini design for general use in Florida because of the extra ventilation it provides. If you design the bows so that the front of the bimini extends forward of the windshield it will provide pretty decent shade, and also allow you to brace the bows off the windshield as shown in the last pic. Those braces REALLY stiffen up the bimini, allowing you to use it for a handhold when walking around the side deck to handle the anchor, etc. Bimini tops tend to be sort of wobbly affairs otherwise!
Tony if you wanted to buy that east coast top, it might be cheaper to just ship the canvas part and have the bows made locally. Your boat is looking like a new one, BTW! However I'd move that VHF antenna to the port side, because it'll be in your way during docking or when you want to get on front deck quickly to handle the anchor. (The solution for that is to recruit an anchor wench as part of your crew!)
