Has any Vista 298 owners removed their radar arch? Tips and tricks would be appreciated.

Dear sweet jesus tapdancing christ... I thought I was the ONLY one to EVER have to do this....

Well, slightly different, but I had to remove the radar arch on my 278 Vista, as I moor the boat on a canal of which a low bridge must be cleared. 4 bolts, a LOT of 5200 from the factory, and 4 people is what it took to get the arch off. It was cumbersome and awkward, and took about an hour from begin to end.

An hour and four hands doesn't seem bad.
