To each his own I guess, I like the look of arches and LOVE having protection from the heat/sun, when your idling through a now wake a 95 degrees and sunny it's a must for me.

I agree, I think the SF looks incomplete without the arch. When I had mine I liked it best with the shade closed but the option for shade when you really need it is a must!

Btw, I take no credit for the pictures other than compiling them from these various sources. Check out the links below for more great pics of the boats, the fun and the eye candy :)

Looks incomplete without the arch to me.

Thanks for the pics, looks like a ton of fun.

You definitely gain some passenger room w/ the outboards, look how many people are on the Sport Deck!
