I had a choice of mounting the slides on the inside, top, or outside of the gunwale. I opted to mount it on the outside in order to maximize interior space whether open or closed. It also allows me to fold it forward in front of the windshield or to the rear (normal) without compromising rear seating comfort.

I'm quite interested in the slides you used. Could you explain a bit more as I'm interested in doing this on my Sportsman.

The original company that supplied the OEM tops and covers was located in Sandusky, Ohio, but I 'm not sure what their current business status is. You'll find their contact info on the OMC Boats web site. They did patterns and OEM work for OMC, Lyman Boats, and others. Give 'em a call.
Another alternative, which I've done on my Sportsman, is to install a modern, new "bimini" style top. This offers the benefit of "walk-under" height, while providing protection from UV sun rays. The sixties-style tops, looked cool, and did offer good protection from rain (when combined with clear side curtains) but IMHO, they are NOT very practical compared to modern bimini tops.
But local conditions and personal preferences have a lot to do with making the right choices.
