You could take the canvas off your T-top and use it as a pattern to lay up a couple layers of 1808 with gelcoat on the top side and then drill holes in the same locations as the canvas, add grommets just like the canvas, and install it with nylon line, just like the canvas. It should be durable as long as there aren't any hard points that it would be stretched over, and it would be really simple to make. Is that what you're thinking?

No, actually I was thinking of a very thin hard top which would be adhered to the tower permanently not using the nylon line & grommets. I realize this would have to be custom made and I've seen some boats with these tops- just looking for someone in NJ area to consult with and get an estimate- don't know who does this kind of thing.

I can make you one ..it is really simple
