Radar Archs
 
Can anyone recomend a manufacturer in the southeast Mich area

dyno 06-14-2002 02:04 PM

Too old was trying to give one away a month or so ago.....

eyezlee 06-14-2002 02:12 PM

are you going to put a radar on it? would somebody please explain to me what these are good for (besides knocking your teeth down your throat) on a performance boat?

Payton 06-14-2002 02:47 PM

What type arch are you looking for? I've got one I'll let go cheap. I'll get dimesions and a pic if you are interested.

turbo2256 06-14-2002 02:55 PM

I need to have one custom made removeable for multiple purposes a tubular one I am working on a design

Jayl13 06-14-2002 02:55 PM

I love my arch
My towel holder and my clothes dryer and towel dryer

Hey no arch No pole for the girlies to swing around on
You all saw those pics from LOTO
You all wish you had an arch like me!

WOOHOO
Bring on the arch!!!!

And go get this,
Cigarette 38 top gun has an optional arch for it!!!!!!!!

If cig can do it hell they all can
Sonic's trademark is their reverse arch!!!

I love it and I think alot of boats would look better with them
Adds that third dimension of height to wide and long boats

My opinion

Crockett: Have you seen my light blue blazer?
Tubbs: Yeah, its drying on the radar arch

<Miami Vice Theme OFF>

:D :D :D :D :D

laugh now
 
But watching that damn show got me into this sport/hobby and Fla lifestyle (chicks, boats,cars, sunshine)....it wasn't so bad was it? The boat was cool.

I agree! If Turbo put up the $$$'s for the boat and he likes the looks of an arch more power to him.

Powerboating is all about individuality. I'll bet the current style of wild paint designs will "out" sometime in the future, but many of us will want to own one like it anyway and won't even care what everybody else thinks.

Speaking of Miami Vice, don't you have a Scarab, Eyezlee? I'd say if it wasn't for that show, you probably wouldn't have the chance to own one.

BTW, could you grab my blazer, it's getting a little chilly in here with just a T-shirt on!:D :D :D :D

eyezlee 06-14-2002 04:09 PM

Scarab
 
jbrauer -
LOL, yeah I do. But I bought mine because of Baywatch. :p Oh, I watch Miami Vice still today.

I've never had or been on a boat with an arch so I really don't know. They may be cool as hell, but I am 6' 2" and I know after a few boat beverages it would clothesline me. :eek:

The third dimension is speed. :cool:

jbrauer 06-14-2002 04:13 PM

Eyezlee -

Perspective is evereything. At 5'6", a radar arch wouldn't be much of a problem for me. Heck, I don't see what the big deal is about 6' of headroom in a cabin.... :D

BTW - Scarabs are way cool boats. Have a great weekend!!!!

Jayl13 06-14-2002 04:15 PM

I dont know how tall your arch is but mine must measure about at least six and a half feet off the floor
I have to stand on something to get to the top of it
Now if I am on the engine hatch, that is a different story
(not many boats have as much freeboard as mine does-- most boats look like they are sinking in the ass end if you ask me)

All depends on the manufacturer of the boat, and the arch and the rest of it all.
My boat came with an arch from the factory
that arch looks like the old chris craft arches
Still looks awesome
KEEP IT
dont listen to these drunk bastards, it is friday they are half tuned up already
KEEP IT
okay then Mr smarty pants, 4th DIMENSION then!!!!!
(hell from K-12 was length + width + height = 3 dimensions!!!)
Jason:D :D :D :D

NOT YET. But will be heading to the lake in about 2 hours, then the tuning will begin. ;)

Jayl13 06-14-2002 04:23 PM

Hey TOO OLD,
Should have sold it to some young punk in a wigged out honda accord

He probably would have figured out a way to bolt it down to the trunk lid

He would have had a real fast fast car then with the matching crazy lookin fart can exhaust tip also

1 inch inlet pipe, 9 inch outlet

Yeah tha ull add ye some performance there sonney!!!

:rolleyes:

No I like the look of the arch but decision is ultimately yours
I had a radar setup on mine (raytheon) but with twin thirsty big blocks and 200 gallons of fuel where the hell am I going?
No WHERE
so screw it
I do like the 4TH DIMENSION it adds to the boat though

Just an opinion is all
Jason

eyezlee 06-14-2002 04:24 PM

Jayl13 06-14-2002 04:28 PM

Jayl13 06-14-2002 04:36 PM

Okay im outta here
Ill talk to you all next week or so
in the mean time, I pass the torch to Eyez
Go cut on some people
like morons in retarded striped acuras with 100 HP motors and a 200 shot of NITROUS and they say it is fast
(yeah real fast buddy, is that your half shaft hangin out the side or is that a new performance improvement?)
LOL
