[Rhodes22-list] Hatch to Cabin

My hatch is made of 3/8 in. thick black polycarbonate (lexan). It has a
crack at the bend. Like me it has been patched up and is still serviceable.
I am thinking more about when the time comes to sell the boat. What
material is General Boats currently using? The previous owner said the boat
went through recycling in the early 2000s. So the polycarbonate has held up
to abuse and the sun for 20 years.
It does let some light into the cabin but the black color absorbs a lot of
heat.
Looking for suggestions and ideas of what may be the current or fashionable
update for the market. I know tastes change but I still wear penny loafers
style shoes from the 60s.

Thanks for your help.
