I have been watching ebay for the last year and a half. Probably will end up with an arch from Atlantic Towers.

Tuck,
I bought mine from Nautical Creations in Louisville, Kentucky.
They are great guys to talk to and also offer other items you may need, such as a radar tower, masthead light pole, etc.
I'm very happy with mine.

i might suggest since we are on a river and sometimes bridges are low (like going to pine harbor) especially if they change the water level, that if you do put a pole or tower on your boat that you have it fixed where you could lower or swing it so that you are not going to limit yourself to certain areas. thats my thought anyway. i've had to lower my bimini before and that sure has made me rethink a hard top on top of mine. wouldnt want to rake it off on the bottom of a bridge or wish i could have gotten there if it wasnt for this thing on top of my boat. have you decided to keep the 32 now or are you still looking for a 36?
Broadband Radar

Look into broadband radar which you can mount anywhere without any fear of radiation from the transmitter/receiver. It costs a little more right now but really offers a better picture of your surroundings and the savings of not needing an arch outweigh the extra cost of the unit.

I made mine myself. It wasn't hard but it was time consuming.
