Welcome aboard.

Unless you go with a bimini, your only choice is an original. There are no aftermarket 9Teen tops,

This salvage yard sometimes has 9Teens for sale and salvage parts - https://www.laniermarine.com/

Not knowing your location and assuming Westernhippy means West Coast, shipping would be a killer it they have one.

Thanks! I live in wyoming, do you think they would still make original tops for that. Im really new to the whole boat community but so far its been a blast.

Aristocraft glass boats haven't been made since the late 70's or early 80's and there weren't all that many made.

One more resource - The son or grandson of the original manufacturer has resurrected to brand and still make kits an complete wooden boats. They have a swindling stock of original parts and may have a top or know where one is.

The glass brochures show a cloth top that mimics the sliding hardtop. That may be an path to persue, A canvas shop should be able to recreate one. http://aristocraftboats.com/new-production/fiberglass-brochures/
