For you guys without facebook...

Looks pretty slick!

From what I can see, it looks like there's a little bit of dash space on this one for mounting electronics. That's one of my only qualms about the Sea Chaser, although I still can't wait to buy one...

Take my money!!!

A couple larger pics.  Click on it to enlarge

I predict this is going to Raise Arima sales- except Yat is going to want it 5" longer 

The real question is are they going to sell me just the pilot house and what's it going to cost me ?

Thing looks pretty rad .
Nice work arima factory !

    Haha..........I think you know 'exactly' what Yat wants, Greg.     BTW, you want to raise sales?............Read below. 


Yat

Yat, you may be next! 

What's the price tag on one?

Estimated $2500 more than a SC 19 HT according to the FB thread

I would guess fifties, depending on power. Looks like they are tapping into more of the So. Cal market with this one. I would sure like to have that. Would be the only boat I need.

That is a big dance floor. Just need a disco ball.

Would love that on a 21' ST and have the roof be a foot or two longer.

Are there any measurements on the ceiling height ?

   So, it looks like they removed the windshield on the 19SC and gave it a new top?   Is that correct?


Yat

Yat, that looks like the major upgrade - it'll be nice to see a complete spec/options lists. But that top addresses a lot of concerns about the standard HT. It seems quite a bit taller, and with the pilothouse window configuration there's a ton of room up there. I'm not tall enough to complain about the standard HT height in terms of headroom, but it always has felt a little claustrophobic under one.  Put some sliders in those side windows and you've got the best of all worlds.

I'm also loving the hull color! Makes bottom painting a lot more palatable.

Also added a hatch to the mini cuddy so you can reach the anchor box.

And what appears to be full length spray rails.

I think those are the standard chines- just masked off from hull paint

My Comment was that it needed to be on a SeaRanger set up so it didnt look so chunky

That's a lot to ask for.  🤔

Yeah, I'd be curious about the head room as well. I hope they went generously. And I also think that roof could be longer to get at least your back into the dry and parts of a companion seat. Otherwise this is cats ass!

I would totally replace my hardtop with that one.

I don't get on here very often but happened to visit and check the site today.  I will try to do better about keeping you guys up to date better than I have in the past.  With three boat brands and a Boat Dealership that I am running I do not have as much time to visit with you guys as I would like and Don spends even less time on the computer than I do.  But I will try to do better.  In answer to this question... Yes.  We will offer this as a retrofit for "upgrade aficionados"  once we get everything dialed in well with the new boats.  It is about a $2500 upgrade but that includes a deduct for no windshield, or canvas and drop curtain that is included in our "New Boat Pricing".  So it will be more for buying after the fact and installing on a current boat.  I am guessing it will probably be close to $5,000 to buy the top section for add on after the fact.  Don't hold me to that, I just don't want guys getting their hopes up about a $2,500 upgrade because it will be substantially more than that if it is bought aftermarket.
