Default arch or no arch?

The boat I am looking at has one....I personally like it as our friend has it on his 35 or 38 and has speakers in it and it sounds great and looks great too...I guess whatever works if you are making the payments but figured I would ask.....

Prefer with the arch but the last two have not had them. It does set them apart and you can definitely tell one from a distance.

I didn't like mine at first, but it grew on me. Gives you something to hold on to when getting on and off the boat, or when crossing boats in a raft up. I also think it makes the boat look longer.

Does anyone have an arch they need to get rid of?

I was thinking of building a wake board style arch. What think of that?

My 42 had a arch on it last year. After hitting my head on it I took it off the boat. I think the boat looks better but just my.02cents.

I had one on my 2000 42. Always a fan of the arches on the Sonics, it gives them distinction. I have seen many cool set ups off the back of arches like plasma tv's hanging off them and so on. I even tried to put an arch on my Nortech 4300 but Terry woudnt let me. They finally built a newer style rounded arch and I think it looks great. Jeff

Sorry I posted this on the wrong thread.
I love the arch. Try going over 70 mph with the Bimini
up without it!
