Something that may not even be on your radar is a hard-top dodger. Dan Wood from Canvas Creations in Annapolis made ours. The original frame can usually be used to support a top made entirely out of polypropylene (King Starboard). Traditional windows and canvas can be used for the sides but as an option you can use the heavy gauge plexi (80 mil?). With this stuff you don't need the windows to be supported by as many fasteners to the deck. The windows can also be contoured and self supported around corners. Because the top is completely free standing the windows can be removed by simply sliding them out of their "luff track". The glass can also be polished to remove scratches and haze.
Dan worked tirelessly with me to engineer exactly what I wanted. The 37+ has some very non-traditional aesthetics which made dodger design quite the mix of compromises. Contract Dan for an array of pictures.
