I just added a radar arch

I came across this arch on craigslist. It measured 7' wide which was perfect. The mounts were some generic swivel things that would not work for me. So I cut them off and lowered it a little closer to my top. I then had plates welded connecting the front and back legs. I also had plates welded for future outriggers and a radar. I plan on wake boarding off this thing so I thru bolted everything and bedded it with 5200. I think it turned out pretty good.

Good looking arch ya got there Pete... got mine from Fish on Sports one of my better additions. How do you like the antanaes on top.
 
Man that is sweet.....I've looked for them every so often. Problem with my 86 is I don't have that nice flat spot on the outside of the cap. I would need to go with those swivel type things that you cut off to get the right angle which I don't think look nearly as good as your installation.
 
Thanks for the compliments guys.
twhrider2, so far I love having the antennas on top. It should increase my range of communication.
Rob, I think I saved the mounts if you need them they are yours.
 
Thanks again guys. I had this past week off and spent Wednesday,Thursday,and Friday out on the boat fishing. Friday I managed to get a 4.1lb Fluke!
 
Next how about a tuna tower with controls on top of the arch ?

Great to be up there in rolling seas .........yikes !!
