That's a great question and I'm curious to hear what's currently available.

I am in SoCal and have a 16' Cruiser. I'm actually looking for a Radar Arch, but never the less some stainless work. I talked to Tanner and Railmakers about getting one.

Tanner wasn't too interested as the 16' Cruiser hasn't been made for a while, sounded like they were pretty busy and not really setup to do any custom work right now.

Railmakers could do it but I would need to bring the boat up to Seattle so they could make a template.

You are going to have to find a local custom shop to make it or adapt some thing from the truck market.

You could build one from stainless steel railing and fittings available at a marine store.
I have built a couple use 3/4" PVC pipe and glued wood dowels inside to stiffen up the PVC. Then I paint it to keep the UV down to a minimum.

Here's a shot from our first 22 Cruiser:

Perhaps bring it up for the Friday Harbor get together and have the template made at that time.
