I was searching the net for radar arch stuff and stumbled along this V-20. I really like that set up of that one posted the other day with the bimini atached to it.

Y'all are gettin me excited. I got to thinkin this morning that for not much more money, I could have someone build me a pilot house. I've got a buddy who has a 21 parker that started life as a W/A and was turned into a Sport Cabin. Hmmmmmmm..

The more I think about it I am leanin more and more towards a radar arch on mine. I was gonna go full top, but the more I think about it, an arch with a small bimini would be more versatile really. You could go topless if you wanted and the major advantages of a full top (rod holders & overhead lights for night fishing IMHO) are still present. An arch may get in the way a little less for fishing as well. Also, on most days I fish it is nice enough weather for a V20 to handle with no danger of getting wet. I can also still do curtains on the front of the bimini if I want. Either way I will be fabricating and building it myself so we will see. 8)


Plus, we all like topless right? ;D
 
Make the arch removeable Stink ;)

...and make me one too while yer at it. You can build mine first for practice ;D
 
Folding arch, maybe, removable probaly won't work. If your gonna mount light, antenna's, or possibly radar you'll have too many wires running through it.

You could add conectors under the gunwhale for the wires so you could unhook them when you remove the arch. But, like stink said, if you don't have a need to remove it, that would be a waste of time. For me, I've explained my reasons before for removeability :)
 
When I do it I'll post plenty of pics. It's just a matter of time. Thinking of selling my 16' skiff and just doing it. I can't get out enough to justify keeping two boats anyway.
Hope to get some more ideas at the OC boat show next week.

Hey, as I've told you before - I had that done so Mrs. Stink would have something to play with while you were out fishing 8)

JK ;) ;D
 
How much for the skiff Slot? Flatbottom, semi-v? CC? Brand? Motor? Trailer?

I wouldn't mind having one (but I don't need one).
