Synthetic polymer boat tops are made by injection molding processes in which channels for power cables, leads, and the like are molded simultaneously in situ with the tops using gas assistance methods. 1. A boat top , comprising:an injection-molded, polymer upper portion and a complementary polymer inner portion molded therewith; anda wire chase formed contemporaneously by gas injection with the injection-molded upper and inner portions, the wire chase being formed therebetween and configured to accommodate wiring between the upper and inner portions.2. The boat top as in claim 1 , wherein the polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene claim 1 , polypropylene claim 1 , polyacrylonitrile and polyvinyl chloride.3. The boat top as in claim 1 , wherein the polymer is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.4. The boat top as in claim 1 , wherein the inner portion includes a recess in communication with the chase claim 1 , the recess being configured to receive a device selected from the group consisting of a speaker claim 1 , a control panel claim 1 , a light and combinations thereof claim 1 , the wiring being disposed through the chase to the device.5. The boat top as in claim 1 , further comprising framework being configured to mate the boat top to a boat.6. The boat top as in claim 5 , wherein the framework includes a hollow tube in communication with the chase claim 5 , the hollow tube being configured to receive the wiring from the chase to power a device selected from the group consisting of a speaker claim 5 , a control panel claim 5 , a light and combinations thereof.7. A boat top system claim 5 , comprising:a thermoplastic boat top having an injection molded upper portion and a complementary inner portion and a channel formed therebetween by injected gas, the channel configured to conceal power cables within the boat top; andframework for mating the boat top to a boat.8. The boat top system as in claim 7 , wherein the thermoplastic boat top is made ...
