I believe the OEM stainless arch (made by Samson) in that Facebook ad should work on the 2005 - 2007 model years of the
262 & 263
272
and 282.

Even though the beam is 8'6" on the 262/263 and 272, and 9' on the 282, Cobalt got the extra 6 inches on the 282 by curving the sides outward yet keeping the gunwales the same distance apart in those three models.

For the 323, it is a different arch with an extra support between the stainless rails. The 323 has a 10'6" beam.

Absolutely....with time and money. That's all you'll need to make the major modifications. :D
Of course you can't chase the folks away who request that theirs be removed. :lol:
