I learnt a long time ago some of the boating supplies and spa places (manufacturers) have the best prices on glass and resin. I guess they are buying it in bulk and pass the savings along. It's coming along very nicely!
As for lifting, while as you say your son and yourself can comfortably lift it if you still have to get something underneath it can be a pain. Do you know anyone with a Ute with a hyab?
A lifting eye on the top of the dome and it's up with a few pumps of a handle, that or make a tripod with some 4x2 timbers or steel pipe if you weld and use a pulley system to lift it. That would depend on how high it has to go, I'd probably shove a flag pole in the ground, lol.
I'm somewhat of a lazy mongrel so I always look for the easy option.
