This thread is great as far as timing goes for me. I am about to take my Sceptre to an aluminum fabrication shop this weekend to have a radar arch installed. I am planning to go with a radar arch and then have a Bimini span the entire area between the arch and the front windshield. I want the bases of the arch to connect to the vertical piece on the side of the boat, not the horizontal or top side of the gunwale. I think this will be a cleaner look but I am a bit concerned that the thickness of the vertical piece is not as great at the top of the gunwale. I've discussed glassing in some pieces of composite material, but I am not sure if it is necessary and as somebody else has suggested, I don't want to stiffen this area only to cause stress fractures elsewhere.
