Default Radar arch. Built at the dog pound.

I would like to thank all of the dogs for the advice and guidance in designing and building this arch. (It looks a little like a facemask on a duck helmet). I have about 16 hours of my time and $650 for material. Another 12 hours was donated by fellow dogs. When this project started we just needed a mount for the new radar, but thanks to the salty dogs it morphed into something more functional. And the color is outstanding.

That looks just great. It sure does clean up the inside of the boat when all the rods are put up!
