  Not too bad.  Once you get everything removed it’s easy.  I guess it weighs about 400lbs.  It took 5 to get it moved back and off the boat.  The logistics was a bit painful.  Needed 2 more to hand the legs over onto the swim platform as the top was moved onto the dock.
  
  body shop says its Aluminium with a fiberglass skin.  I’m having the outside painted before new owner takes posession.

  Did you get a hardtop?!
  
  It is aluminum covered in copious amounts of fibreglass body filler.

  No, it’s body filler.

  I was back and forth by email with Nate from SEI who made the arches and hardtops for the 2007+ 330/340/350/360/370. The paint is not awl grip, it is “Deltron 2000”. I posted the paint code and details in another thread.

  What I noticed on my arch when the paint flaked off was that it was very brittle
