Where/How to mount radome??

[ashedd]

I'm having a hard time coming up with an idea on where to mount a radome on my 20' Tolly. I think the best option would be to make a hard top and mount it on top of that. Currently the only option I can really think of is to mount it on a pole of some sort. It's a 24" Garmin radome.

Building a hardtop would give you some good cover but add quite a bit of weight. I would suggest an aluminum of stainless steel tube frame arch. Something like this one in ebay
