Dude, you do some nice work. I want to know a little more about the wake tower, been thinking about this for mine but not sure how it would perform.

Does it make the boat "tippy" at all? I guess it's made of aluminum so maybe it's not too top heavy.
Who made this tower, a friend or co-worker?

Ordered tower from Big Air towers total cost was 1,900.00 but aerial wakeboard tower also has team about same price. I would have to tell you the chrome is only for people who are anal about cleaning their boat EVERY time they take it out. If you dont water spots are a bitch to get out. You can go black with chrome anchors and racks that would be cool and save some money. Its sucks because I plan on painting the main part of my rake red if I can bring myself to do it.(And wife wont say nothing about it).

Also i have not noticed it tippy at all. The only thing i didnt think about was the weight of the batteries the boat sits alittle to right side. I have not thought about how im going to fix it if i even do. Its not real noticeable except me noticing it. The wife cannot see it only i can.

The tower opens alot of room with skis on tower not in locker or going to truck to get and put them away.

If wife can't see it I doubt anyone notices. I keep a cooler with ice and stuffed full with drinks, on port deck and I can see it's not level too until I get in then it seems level but once everyone's in it's always leaning one side or another depending on where we sit.

So I think we'll always have that with a small boat like this, not easy to keep loaded perfectly level.

I wipe the boat down most everytime we go out but coming home it gets parked till next time without wipe down. I like the shiny look though, gonna check it out.

The cost is high for a nice one but you can get it back if you ever sell the boat. People see my boat and ask if would sell it all the time. I was think I should find a cheap used one and fix it up nice with the tower and make some money plus have a winter project. I dont know though its alot of money to put out and wait to spring. But if a cheap one comes up I might just do it. The lakes out there are prefect for these kind of boats.

Awesome build! You really pulled this one of!
Questions: Is that a custom steering wheel,what hub do you use? ....and what gauge in the middle(I´m a newbee ; ) ?
