I bought this boat for my daughter and her kids (7) to use, at 75 my skiing days are done. She used to wakeboard as a teenager, and wants her kids to learn too, so a tower was a must.
The price of anything newish is way out of our budget, so I got a fixer upper and added a tower I found on CL for $500 that had an almost new bimini included.
I've added a few bimini tops, but this was my first tower installation. It's level, goes up and down with no extra holes in the boat, so this was a winner in my book. I did it myself while they were away, and it only took two days working carefully.
Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, all towers look ungainly to me, but it will work for them.
I also did some basic maintenance, sewing and lots of cleaning and polishing, painted the trailer, new tires and rims, so for under $10K it's a nice boat, especially for kids to be on. They can be a bit messy you know.
