Has anyone seen the new 2011 R26 bowrider from the new Mariah company? It comes with an optional radar arch. I own a 1996 Shabah z255, and have been wanting/looking for a radar arch. Short of having one fabricated by someone, I wonder if the one offered as an option for the 2011 R26 would fit my boat. Nobody, by chance, would happen to know, would they? Any suggestions welcomed.

I'm going to make a fairly educated guess and say No, the Sea Fox arch will not fit your Z255. They have redesigned many of the old hull molds to fit their new stylings. The R26 is a great looking boat (especially with the arch), but I really don't think the arch would fit yours. Really the only option is to have one made, which will be very pricy.

I know...a custom made radar arch from aluminum and/or fiberglass is going to run about $3k. More than I want to spend on vanity. I guess I hoped there was an easier (and less expensive) option to get a radar arch.
