Skipjack Radar Arch

**Captain Curt** · Sep-01-2005, 07:02 PM

Hanna's getting a new Radar Arch soon. Do you guys and gals have any pictures out there of some different, 24FT Flybridge Skippys with a radar arch, that has already been done, so that we could see, to get an idea what we want to put on her? We have some ideas, but would like to see what has been done in the past. Thanks in advance, and what the hell, I always love seeing pictures of skippys.

Don't know if you can see it too well on Scottie III but being the cheap asses we are...

We bought the raw material, had it bent, had a friend weld it and probably did the whole thing for $300. It folds down perfectly and we've had no problems.

You'll see this one Sat, But here's a picture anyway

If money permits try and go with a stainless arch, I gaurantee you wont regret it! They are brainless when it comes to upkeep, and will look as good as the day you bought it after years and years and years with next to no maintenance!

Wish I had a closer shot of mine, but this is all I have right now.

Fold down stainless arch.

Just another thought since I know you guys plan on doing things to your skippy. Something I have been wanting to do is actually incorporate a hardtop onto my boat with the arch I have and then redo the front & sides isenglass with zip up windows on both the fronts & sides. Problem is I have too many other things going on right now and cant really justify doing any boat work at this time

(in other words I cant afford it right now) But a hardtop would be pretty kickass!

I was also thinking of the hard top, you don't see it around. It allows lot's of possibilities, Crows nest? whatever! I just put her down for the season, with many upgrades in the near future, including the hard top and new arch, I'll post pics as I go along.

Good Luck!

Yea guys, we're thinking real hard

on a hard top.

Since we're designing this thing, the possibilities are endless.
With a hard top, you can mount so many different things to it.
With out one, you need to weld plates for mounting. Keep the ideas coming.

Youre right, it does look awesome. You guys are going to love being out of the elements on those long runs. Good seeing you today, Tom, Ross, and I already forgot who your bud was. :smoking33 I think we are both excited for a new season to get here! I dont think Tom was buying into the "pity for me"
