Bibound... Try a search on www.ask.com I found several for both ski towers and archs. Keyword:<br />Marine Radar Arch Manufacturers.

Re: teetop/radar arch builder?

I was looking into getting a simple radar arch made for my boat about 4 years ago - I did find some places that do it (and even some places that specialize in custom arches). I found them all via the internet, but unfortunately did not save the information because....<br /><br />I was dumbfounded at the prices. And I am a longtime boater in the northeast where the "marine uplift" is something I'm used to but this was astounding. Again, I don't remember the numbers specifically but it was many thousands....

Hi bibound,<br />I've never dealt with Any of these outfits......<br /><br />Those,+ Many More were My design resources.......<br />The 1 above was Gen I,... Gen II will be going on the New Project.......I Know what you mean about Time.....<br /><br />I don't know what they sell for, Try searching the MegaMall here at iboats......<br />ebay surfing will bring 1 up now,+ then...........<br /><br />After Building Mine, I see $1400.00 as a Steal .............That makes My time worth about $0.10@hr............... :D <br /><br />Lotta Fun though................................................. ;)
