I put a 8'x14.5' aluminum hardtop on my 40' trawler. Total weight of roof and supporting structure is about 400lbs (1/8" Al sheets and 2" squarex1/4" thick supports). On top of that I added 600 watts of my semi-flexible solar panels (about 5lbs each).
I haven't worked out the solution for the glass walls. Had the roof manufactured in Gananoque, ON by Tennant's Welding
That is heavy. The Atlantic Tower's hardtops on my boat were easily handled with 2 guys. Sure the support piping added additional weight but not much. The last top I had installed was 109" X 128'' if I remember correctly. I doubt the top by itself weighed over 125#s
