We are interested in a stern arch also.Are you planning on straddling the stern
cleat with the vertical struts or having the rear strut attach at the transom?I talked with Atlantic Towers at the
Annapolis Boat Show a couple of months ago.I asked them if they would be interested in coming to the boat, it was
very close, to measure for the arch as they had not manufactured any for a 54 –
they declined.That was unfortunate; I
was impressed with their product after seeing several on Super Maramu’s at the
Amel Rendezvous at St. Michaels.
I believe they bend and weld aluminum very well but I would
guess they job out powder coat services.Be cautious, substrate prep especially on aluminum is the key to
longevity of the finish.It could be
worth the extra time you would invest get the background on the powder coater and
how they prep the material.
