Some welds were overfilled and the powdercoat didn't seal the entire surface so i have some rust now. Just fyi.

I wonder why they dont offer white? I like the Fish On arch. But i am not sure about their foldable mounting system. I would like fixed bases. With my luck it will fold when i dont want it to.

FYI I spoke to the people at Fish-On Sports, below is thier response to my questions.

The finish is a chrome powdercoat with a clear powdercoat over that. It comes standard with 4 bolt on rod holders.

Also We have a new arch that will be posted today. It is the part#140 It is the same as an UNI Arch but it breaks down so it can ship UPS.
It will be selling for $499.95 with free shipping. It also will come with 4 rod holders.

Just looked at the "Sportsmans UNI-Arch" . I am impressed with it. I wish i could get one while they are on sale. Just can not swing it right now. But for $500 i believe its a good deal. If i can get rid of the 18 Fisherman this week i will order one.

The only thing i dislike is their mounting system. But if its solid and does not squawk or rattle i can live with it.
