Home Depo carries Lexan of various thicknesses and tints. There is
a learning curve to cutting it. Be sure to buy extra. Also, a bevel
looks professional. It is cheaper to practice on wood.

If you use tinted material be sure to install it on a cool cloudy
day. Heat will expand the tinted material more than your glass boat
and may result in cracks.

Drill the screw holes a bit over size and that stops cracks from
starting at the holes.



And a perfectionist weill naturally polish the holes to a mirror
smoothness.
