By "canvas top" I'm assuming you want to retain the original folding frame and attaching hardware?
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.
