Hey guys and girls, just need some opinions..
Ive got an old flightcraft phatom boat, is it possible to get a tower or wakepole hookd up to it? if so how much would I be roughly spending?

Is this what your boat looks like? I searched Flightcraft Phantom, this one said SS.

If this is your boat, I would say Wakepole. The boat doesn't look wide enought to really justify getting a full blown tower. I don't know how much it would cost honestly.

this is my boat from the top.....the thing is i can't seem to find a place where the pole would go, as it is a midmount.
I think it will cost me $800 for the pole (aus) and $2000 (aus) for the tower (if possible to get)

A pylon gets in the way.

Might want to look into something like this:

Hey Hybrid34,

Could you get something made similar to what bremsen, suggests in his link? The fabricator will need to be able to bend 2" aluminium and weld it up. Maybe check over at Bill's (of Monster Tower fame) diytower.com website for some ideas.

Wakeboarddrumma, There are usually a couple ebay auctions a week. They seem to go for $350-450.....this time of year at least. Same guy runs auctions for the universal tower as well.
Here is one:

Takes a few weeks to get it since he builds to order, but I don't think you can beat the price/value. You can also buy straight from joystick, but right now the ebay auctions are the deal.
