If you still want a factory hardtop for a 370EC, I think I know where the molds are and what happened to them. If you are still interested, I will try to find the contact info for you.
 
The service manager at our dealership has recently purchased two replacement swim platforms for boats whose owners found the seawall the hard way. The finished product were identical to the OEM platforms. Being curious enough to ask about them I learned that the owner of Florida Bow Thrusters has been buying obsolete molds from Sea Ray when they were ready to let them go. Most of what he bought were swim platform molds, but I am told he also has a few hardtop molds, one of which is the 1997-2000 370EC hardtop.

I think the contact at FBT would be:

Tom Gillikin
321-453-7070

They are in Merritt Island Florida so freight would be expensive unless you have a friend with a car trailer and a truck. One other point.......I've seen the last hardtop Sea Ray produced from these molds installed on a 1997 EC and the fit was less than optimum. Boats relax a bit so there were sizeable gaps on both sides of the hardtop where it met the hull........the dealer here chose to fill the gap with caulking and the result was acceptable. Just be aware this probably isn't going to be an exact fit....but it is manageable and sure beats no top!

Good luck with it...........
 
On Facebook, search for the Sea Ray Express Cruisers owners club. There is a guy on there with a 370 with a custom hardtop that looks stock only better. Contact him for more info
 
Thank you for the info, i will reach out monday and see how it goes, have a great weekend, nick
 
I called Tom he only has swim platforms no hard tops, but i just wanted to thank you for looking for me. nick
 
I got the hardtop info from the service manager at our marina. He knows Tom and buys several replacement platforms from them every year. I'll "re-ask" the question..........
 
ok i would appreciate that, ive been on a quest for some time now, thanks again
 
Their phones have been down and there is no cell service until Verizon gets portable antennae in place so I haven't been able to talk to anyone since the hurricane. I am going to the marina next week and I'll get clarification then.
