Did you make that arch or buy it?? One would look good on my Seafari

Well, I ran the boat offshore for the first time. I am so happy I bought this boat, simply put, it was amazing. I ran straight west 26 mi, it was early in the morning and very light winds, so I had no problem maintaining 22-25 knots.
I turned south and ran for another 18 mi. I was looking for kelp patties, but never found one. For you east coast guys thats where our yellowtail like to hang out. The real test came in the afternoon, I had worked my way south about 25 mi. from San Diego. The winds had come up to over 20 kts and my course home was not a favorable one. I got wet, but any 20 ft boat would have been wet, what was impressive is how I was able to maintain 18-20 straight in to it. The boat won me over.

Jerry,
Sorry I missed your post... The arch was on my friends Whaler Revenge Cuddy. He backed into a parking spot and whacked it on an overhanging tree branch. I cut away the damage and modified it to fit My Seafari.
