Anyone know who makes the OE arches for FW and if they can be purchased directly? How difficult is the install for an arch? I'm assuming that the factory would have put backing plates for reinforcement into the hull already. |

As far as backing plates already installed, that would be a no. I instaled my own after market arch, with the help of my wife. If you need more info, just ask. |

I mounted my VHF antenna, and anchor light on this arch. No more, "honey, plug in the anchor light". Plus, it has 4 rod holders. When the time comes, a may add radar. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2011-4/1366309/0 |

I've been told that XTP Towers made the ones for Four Winns. I bought one of the OEM arches from Great Lakes Skipper -- they had/have some surplus inventory -- to use in reverse position for my 2003 234 Funship. You can search for my thread on that topic if you wish to see pics. Anyway, I've called and left messages for some guy at XTP several times to ask a simple question. Never gotten a call back. It appears that Monster bought or joined with them somehow, which might explain why GLS has surplus inventory. BTW, the arch/tower is VERY nice and well made. |

Been there..... and done that...... I have the exact same boat as you do (diff color) -02008 H260. I would like to do an aftermarket bimini tower and get rid of the rods on currently. Is yours aftermarket as pictured? |

Quote: Is yours aftermarket as pictured? No... Ours is OEM and came from Four Winns. Bimini is a later (09) version which is very large for an integrated tower Bimini. I looked at many aftermarket tower and Bimini but could not find as nice and as large (fabric) as OEM tower.

What did it run you after purchase and install? I know you got yours put on after you bought the boat. |
