Do you know where its made? I have seen some pretty horendous welds come from PRC. Add powder coating and whats it cost to go local? I would be curious as I am looking too.

Atlantic towers. I have sent quite a few people there after my bro bought his there awsome built units more expensive br you get what you pay for but way cheaper then a custom one.

Cheers

I am in the process of putting up my Atlantic Arch right now, doing it myself and just about got it all done (did it in just about two days, with one guy you could get it up in one I am sure), just running wire threw pipe and need to add a few Stainless Steel parts and lights and the ready to go , here is an earlier picture , will post when all finished.
Not being on the water with it yet, it seem very strong but time will tell when I get out !

They re made in Michigan and they are anodized

Not a big fan of powder coating. One ding or chip and it starts to flake off

Free shipping in USA. Anyone have a us address?

ship it to "point to point" in Point Roberts. Its free for an account and only costs a few bucks per item. I do it all the time for free shipping.

If you do attach those with stainless steel hardware, be sure to isolate the aluminum from the stainless with an appropriate dielectric tape or lubricant.

Thanks for the heads up seadna , using rubber between the metals !

Survivor ... I have a 2301 and have been looking at the Atlantic towers. Would you mind telling me what you ordered and how much it cost. Does it fold down?

got my uni arch yesterday.
coming from a professional mechanic and an amateur fabricator i have to say im unimpressed.
horrible tooling marks, from the "mandrel" bends to razor sharp edges from the chop saw, poor tapping for the bolts, and cnc parts that looked like they were all thrown in a big barrel, dented up and then shipped off. rod holders that are all different lengths by up to 1/2" and a few that are on slightly different angles than the others.
1500 bucks to my door...

after 20 mins with a file to knock off the sharp edges, i had the arch all assembled, and after a short rant ive decided that although its not a 10/10 for the price and the number of rod holders etc, its not that horrible of a deal. justexpect to do some finishing work yourself when you do get one

I just finished putting an Atlantic on my Alumaweld and it's a great piece. Half of local cost by the time it hit my door.

Hey Fixit, you got any pics of that uni arch installed? Which model did you get?

I'm looking at possibly getting one for my boat as well, can't stomach the price of some of the other ones. And the boat isn't a beauty queen so no need to put a diamond necklace on a pig.

 

[Fixit]

arch isnt totally installed yet
i got the pro package

if your close to lions bay your welcome to check it out

 

[Brambles]

I'm in the south east so its a little too far to drive, but thanks.

Did you get it shipped to your door or pickup at a US depot?

I'm tempted to build one but things like bending the aluminum without it cracking and the deck pivots are holding me back

 

[Fixit]

They shipped it to my door for 190

Fixit. How is the radar arch working out for you? I'm just about to order a Jr. Uni Arch as I picked up a radar on Black Friday. Did you get the light brackets?
