still looking for an arch

[Capt_K]

Hi Guys , Fishing is good, boat is running great, all is well.
I am still looking to get an arch for my V-20 ( I am in RI ) Most of the custom shops in my area are just to expensive, I admit the work they do is first class,but they do mostly bigger boats and the $$$$$ dont matter.
Any ideas or any one know where to go?
Thanks Capt K

Hey Capt K,

I just sold my V 20 but i had the arch on my boat. You can see the boat in the gallery under simple gesture. I bought it at the NY Boat show last year from atlantic towers. It comes in three pieces and is easy to put together and to put on the boat. The price was a little over $1000 for it and it came with halogen lights on it. It was very sturdy and looked great on the boat. I dont know what kind of prices you were getting from your local guys but for the price i thought this set up was well worth it. It really made the boat look much better.

The web site is http://www.atlantictowers.com/ .
Any other questions feel free to ask.

Thanks for the quick reply. Simple Gesture.
That web site is looking good. I am not very handy, and would be concerned about installing it myself. But maybe I can find someone with more experence.
My only complaint with the V20 is the lack of storage for fishing rods I hate puting them in the cuddy.

Try To find some one in Florida that does metal work for a dealer in the area and see if they will put someting together for you and throw it on a truck up here. I know a few guys that have done this because of the compitition from so many fabricators down there thaty are about half the price you would need detailed photos and measurements

wellstep - $1000 is really cheap for an arch, but you'll probably find someone down in FL to do one up for the same $$$ or maybe a little less. If you look in the photofinder section of atlantic towers - you'll find several v20 with arches.

The pic of the third wellcraft is my neighbors. You gotta see the work he has done on that boat. This past winter he took out all the wood and changed it with starboard. Plus his boat is like a navy ship with all the gadgets and electronics on it. He's who we got the idea about the arch from.
