  Do you need it more than one time?  If not, probably cheaper to have it hauled by a truck outfit that transports boats.

  No to Ohio and back. They wanted $2800 and I would have to lift it onto and off of their trailer

  CrewLounge,

  I bought my 342 up in Michigan and had it transported to Lake Cumberland. I used a company called Mirror Image Transport. They have the Low-Boy Trailers that are needed for the 342. The 342 radar arch is on hinges and folds down under transport as well. The total cost was about $1800.00. Might be worth a call. Call Mike at 586-615-3251. This was back in 2010.

  Good Luck.

  Quite sure about the hinges. Had to use a solvent to get the tape marks off the arch where it was taped down. The transporter told me he could make the height for all the Highway bridges due to the arch folding down and the Low-Boy trailer. He hauled a bunch of 342's for a Marine Dealer who recommended him.

  No hinges on my '03. Shipped fine on a lowboy with the arch attached. You could pay for a lot of maintenance for $7k.

  Ok. Let me clarify. I never actually saw the arch when it was "hinged". Just going by what the transporter guy told me. I probably stand corrected. Sorry for the confusion.

  My 02 is not hinged either. I had it moved from Tampa to Tenn on a hydraulic trailer with the arch up

  Has anybody removed their  RADAR ARCH to transport 2006 342??

  Also I want to hinge it for future trips does anyone know of a hinge kit to do this without cutting my arch ?

  The arch does come off, 3 bolts per side, plus cutting the caulk at the windows/base.  I'm certain it can be hinged, but it would be a custom job.  $$$ I bet.

  Loaded out on a hydraulic trailer the boat is under height (13'6") there is no need to drop the arch. We have moved a ton of them. 

  
  

  Good Luck.

  What is the address too and from you need your boat moved too. I just bought a 45ft long goose neck I am using for transports.
