ABSTRACT:
A radar arch for connection onto a deck or superstructure of a boat adapted to supportively receive various pieces of boat equipment and convertible top components. The radar arch includes an arch member having a generally inverted U-shaped configuration formed of molded inner and outer fiberglass components which are connected together along mating seams. The arch member is generally comprised of a transverse upper portion which spans the boat laterally and downwardly extending side portions which supportively engage the deck or superstructure of the boat. A stiffening enlargement is integrally formed into each upper corner of the inner portion of the arch which greatly stiffens this area to substantially reduce lateral racking of the arch in rough seas. Each of these stiffening enlargements which are unobtrusively contoured and blended into the overall arch configuration, may also be used for mounting boat equipment such as deck lights, speakers and the like or simply as small overhead storage areas.
