How many of you have done radar arches on your V-20 and who did them for you?
What material? Aluminum/stainless and why?

Any pictures? If so--please post them.

I want to have one built so I can mount outriggers on it along with rocket launchers/lights and of course--a Radar.

Thanks

Here's some, a couple of local guys did. Might give you some ideas.
I especially like the arch/Bimini combo!

I like the idea on a cuddy, aluminum is most common around here. don't think its the best idea on a cc as you lose a lot of the fishing manuverability the cc gives you.

I have the stand up top and enclosure as we fish year round--even in the rain and bad weather--so over the top with the arch. Wondering if anyone has put one on a V-20 like mine.

I appreciatte the direction on the arch's--looking for one installed on a V-20--to see what was done for placement and design on this boat.

I have seen many arches on line--just want to see one on our boats

Thanks

I love the full canvas. That would pay off huge in the winter in Florida. Although It might embarrass you at the dock in a gale. T-tops catch a lot of wind too.
I love your boat and the new HO. What type of activities do you do that you would use a radar? I understand it is a nice accessory for weather and navigation but do you intend to use it to find birds for fishing or do you have another reason?

Here's a couple pics of mine. Ordered it from Atlantic Towers up in Barnaget,NJ several yrs ago when they ran a special in the Saltwater sportsman for $1050.00. It came as a kit with 4 rod holders installed but added 2 more later on. Was very easy to install with help and even came with a VHS tape(thats how long ago it was) for instructions.

I am thinking mine might have to go a bit further forward--or is your fuel fill right in front of the foward mount?? That is great!! Exactley what I am looking for---I was starting to think I was the only one doing this on a V-20.
