The boat has most of the 2" by 1/2" rectangular hardware for a wooden style of arch to support a cover. I would need to make the wooden arches. Before I make laminated arches, is this the best system to cover the boat? Thanks Christian

Space them out every 1' with a center piece. You can use unions or just lash the rail down to the bows. Cut a V notch in the the end so it sits on the gunnel. As for the height of the arch, just experiement with a full piece. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
