If you made it, then you should know exactly where you need to put it. What about the measurements you took? Neutral

Somewhere on top, maybe?

So somewhere by the windsheild. Iv seen some towers at the back of the boat ? Why is that is there a reason for it to be at the back of the boat or is it just where you want it o be...

How did you make a tower if you don't have measurements?!!! Neutral

Maybe he made the tower out of some type of rubber that will stretch to fit on any part of the boat. Smile

..... or the boat is the same dimentions throughout...

Hey cwbwakeboarder,

Bear in mind, some of the "towers" you see around (the ones way aft) may be radar arches or some sort of fishing rig (or intended to be) and not wakeboard towers at all... I'd think you'd want the tower to be at a point where the mainline towpoint is at the center of the boat fore and aft...this way, when you're cutting hard, you're not pulling the stern around...the center of lateral resistance...sorta.

cwbwakeboarder, I would say somewhere on top of the boat, around the middleish area? if you wanna look like a cholo, lean it forward, if u wanna race, tilt it back....just like bars on a bike Wink
