ok im workin on makin my boat a little more like a wakeboard boat, a fatsac is on the way and i think i convince my mom to atleast look into a toweror pylon because the rope keeps smalin the people in the back in the head and it got really annoyin

ok first i no a tower is a lot better but ill probly only be able to get a pylon, but im still tryin to convince the moms to get a monster Very Happy

and my problem with a pyon is i have a bimini, and id have to vut it to get the pole thru, which isnt that big of a deal but it also has to be able to like fold down or similar and have an attachment for a regular height pylon( if it covers up the normal one)

and with fat sacs, we usually take like 6 people out on our boat so takin out the back seat is a problem, so im thinkin or 2 side sacs for the sides of the boat beside the engine hump, would this be difficult to have even wake? and is there any other way to do it while keepin the back seat in, and i cant put it under the front seats because that f'cks up the wake ive tried it ( i ride a mastercraft prostar 209 btw)

so any and all help is apprecited, Thx a lot

You could take out the back seat and put a fat seat back there and still have sitting room then just add a little weight up front to even it out a bit 60/40 ratio and that should be enough weight.

yea a fat seat might work probly not tho, it takes a whole lotta room

and i really hope the tower will go over the bimini

dude if you have so many people just have them sit in the back if you get a tower. i would go for the tower bud. the pylons are really sucky. if you convince your parents for the tower trust me its worth it. i would tell you everytning in a post but its too much so if you want catch me on messenger and ill fill you in bro

I'm a parent, and I'll share a bit of info from our family's experience:

1) Any automotive upholstery shop can cut a hole in the bimini for the pole, then stitch a hem around the hole so it looks like it was designed that way from day one.

2) We've had 7 people (2 adults & 5 teens) on our closed-bow Ski Nautique with side sacks & ice chests taking up lots of floor space. The principle is this: If your boat is throwing a good wake, and everybody's having fun you don't have to worry about anybody complaining about lack of seating. They'll sit anywhere and won't gripe because they're just happy to be out on the lake in your boat having a great time. Have any doubt? Invite them back and see how they all show up for another day on the lake knowing that the boat is crowded.
