Congratulations, and welcome to the "clique!" Mark is spot on with his advice. I couldn't find anyone to install mine, so I did it myself. Highly NOT recommend unless you're a contortionist. There's a thread on it around here somewhere..
And Tgrace is right too. By the time you buy the arch, have it installed, reconfigure your cover or have a new one made, it can be a pain. It's so much easier to just buy one with it already there.
Again, congrats! C'mon SPRINGTIME

Nicely optioned. I think I would have a hard time passing this up. Have any pics?scottst wrote: Fri Feb 19, 2021 2:20 pm The hull inspection looked good yesterday, so I'm out of excuses and we're closing on it Tuesday
R7, VP380, Black sides w/white stripe, white and gray interior, elect head, sink, anchor, table, etc. And most importantly, underwater disco lights.

Re: Close to a deal on a used R7 -- arch questions
Of course an arch looks great. We chose the Bimini..not for looks LOL, but rather it’s simple one minute opening, stowing and flat fold. It’s built solid with no rattle. If we had a permanent spot like TG, I would have definitely ordered an arch, but our boat is trailered and garaged, and it eliminates a lot of hassle. .

Guessing this ^^ isn't going to work. Not sure of the easiest way to get photos in here from google photos? Read the FAQ and it looks like I'm too much of a Newb to have access to posting pics? 
Here's a link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uDFFB3CShpUwjFsW7
Right now it's up in "rack" storage. First shakedown run will be in mid-april. Excited
