Russ,

Did you use the fixed links???

Check out that 402 it's awesome....

I dont like the radar arches either, but otherwise they are pretty nice from what I could tell in the pictures.

that radar arch does not do a thing for it.

Don't like the radar arches either. Their big "wind anchors" as far as I'm concerned.

My first Formula, a 242 LS, came with a factory radar arch, I made the dealer remove it before I would take posession of the boat. On a 24' boat it looked totally "richard".

Russ,

My 311 came with an arch too, and a custom made "Bimini" (Don't tell cuda ) that attaches to it. It's really nice to have when that sun is beating down.

My 302 came with an arch too.

Cuda has "bimini spies" everywhere. If there is a bimini about, he will know about it.
I believe the group is called "Cooder's Rangers", and their motto is "the only good bimini, is a removed bimini". Or something like that.

You would not have believed how completely ridiculous that arch looked on a 242. It was embarassing. The boat actually picked up 3 mph when I took it off just because of the wind resistance. (gps).

Going to be working on Outlaw today. Gonna grind the striping off back to the side of the hull and remove from the transom. Will post a pix when I'm done.

Where is the arch now Cuda????

Russ,

That arch was holding you back 3 MPH??? Makes you wonder why they put an arch on at all. I like mine for one purpose, a rear mount for the bimini.

I plan to run PVC pipe from the thru-hulls right out those rectangle exhausts of the silent thunder box....
Should sound a lot better. The Silent Thunder does not make as much noise as I'd like.

Post some pictures when your done, I'd really like to see it.
