NO! NO! NO!
They are just ugly. Maybe, it you plan on going deepsea fishing.
I will never be able to understand the need for an arch on a boat made for speed. Even if it is a fountain.

I have an arch on a 42 foot boat. It looks kind of cool.
I don't have a radar. It only has a GPS antenna and a stern/anchor light.
Mine sweeps back and is directly over the engine hatches. When you have to climb under it every time you want to reach the swim platform it gets a little tiring.
I would probably pass on it if I had to do it over again for this reason.

The Fountain has more of a rounded look, and I feel it does not enhance the overall look of the boat, besides the only arch to me that looks good is on a Sonic, they have more sharp angles that goes with the fatter arch, just my .02
