Default Fishing/Radar arch for the V-20
I just put a arch on--had questions about one several months ago on here--had lots of help--but very few people have them on their V-20's.

Here are a few shots of it installed.--I got it from Atlantic Towers--they call it their arch in a box--follow the instructions and on it goes--looks good to I think. I have more items to go on it in the near future--but it will give you all the idea of what they will look like.


Guess I should post amount--just under $1100.

Looks very good.....that would be my most wanted upgrade on my boat....moving rods and nets and such around while fishing is the number one pain in the *** on my boat....nice upgrade.

That thing looks great. It looks like it was made just for the boat by the way it fits over the enclosure. I would love to get one for my boat. Maybe I will luck out this summer and one will turn up on a salvage boat

Nice boat sweet upgrade it looks fast just sitting there! I noticed that you have a set of trim tabs on your boat. Did you in stall them after you got the boat I'm woundering if there is a much difference on the handeling/ride before and after??? If I could ever figure out how to post pictures I would so I can get some more tips and show it off.

This was my major reason for this---Tuna fishing takes alot of poles--trolling--then live baiting and a couple gaffs--Need storage out of the way but easy to get ahold of.

I did install them--real easy if you can follow instructions and do acurate measurements--I have the Lenco electrics--easier install and no maintence. As for the difference--I would not run without them--they do help--but they also drop your speed if you start stuffing in the bow--but great for helping out balance of the boat for changing loads side to side. Worth the money !!

The tower in a box is a universal believe it or not--they do come with different bridges for width--so you have to chose width--then I cut 2 inches off the bottom of the arch base with a pipe cutter(tape the aluminum to protect it) to get it to the highth I wanted for my top.
For the money--well spent--looking forward to more pole holders--lights and Radar.


Thanks all for the compliments

Never would have sold my radar if I had seen this a few years ago. Looks great.

That looks sweet! I was thinking about the same thing, more rod holders and radar! But not in the budget this year!

That look well built, I like it a lot!

Really nice. An arch has been on my upgrade list since I saw the one on Simple Gesture's boat:

With any luck I'll get to it this year.

Very nice. Can it fold down to go under bridges with low clearance?
