hey, i just recently bought a fletcher 15GTO Arrowflash, and was wondering if its possible to fit a wakeboard tower to it, or will it tip the boat? it has a 90 mercury engine, and the beam is 6 foot 3 inches.

Its perfectly possible... but the thing to remember is that as its such a small boat the rider will be able to make the boat lean when they cut out. you will also need to exercise a degree of care when using the tower.

What I'd advise is you look at something like the insanity pylon and cut it down slightly to reduce the effect.

I have a brand new one here in the office in a damaged box I can let go for very little money if you were tempted?

Another point to remember on the tower front is finding one that fits... most don't go skinny enough for your beam so the pylon may be your only option.

hope that helps.

hey, thanks for the advice, ive seen them before, and theyre quite pricey, and im on a tight budget, so i was thinking of making one by myself. how high would you say i should have the main pole? and how much would you sell the insanity pylon for?

thanks
