A lot of cc don't have a ton of space in the rear of the boat. The overhang will be nice, but you only need enough to let the water run off, and not down your back when under way. For shade get a good hat! I love my hard top, never have to wear a hat anymore, but it can get in the way when casting a lot, but I do most all bottom fishing.
As far as a crows nest, It has been done on the V20, and we have seen some pic's, but know one has ever said how they go?? I would think a small lower type might not be to bad, but if you make one to high you going to have issues. You know what would be nice, a sunroof in your pilot house with a small ladder to step up on, stick your head out the top and get a great view without building anything to high?? Just popped in my head as I am typing. Whatever its coming out great!! Keep it going you have a whole winter to go before you need it.

Good idea MJ! I have seen center consoles with an opening in the t-top and you stand on the console for increased view. I might do that! If I do decide to go to a cabin roof mounted crows nest it would also make access easier, since I would not have to crawl across the top. FYI I am not wanting a tower, just a crows nest on the roof, maybe with controls too?
And MJ what do you mean by cc? Center console or cuddy cabin?

 Back on topic. I am thinking its around 6.5' from side to side which the roof will span. I can always do what XShark did in the Mako build and arch it. Still might run stringers across. One layer of 3/4" will support me, and with stringers it ought to support twice my weight. If I go with twin motors I wont even install a steering helm on the top, just the throttles and shifts. Still working on the details.

IMHO... 3/4 is WAY too much! with ply and glass combined, keep it under 1/2" with a few 3/4" stringers... definately arch it at least a little..
Your electronics box can be structural... a 4" high 1/8" sheer panel ( the back of the box) can be VERY strong one layer of 3/4 with glass, stringers, and proper engineering would easily support you AND a volkswagon

CC, Center Console Cuddy, for a cuddy cabin as stated above keep it simple, you don't want a lot of weight up there.

Transom cleanup is almost done. I have all the plywood pieces off the skin, and just need to run the sander over the fiberglass. BUT I still have this pink/white filler left on each side. Its two inches thick. I have been chiseling away at it but now I found my welding chipping hammer does better. Is this cabosil?
