Hey guys just stumbled across the site a few days back. The family and I pitched in over the past weekend and picked up a pretty clean 98 Elite V-Drive Bowrider. It'll be mainly used for wakeboarding/skiing at the river in Parker AZ.
Can you guys make any recommendation on wakeboard towers? There's so much info and various brands that it's tough narrowing down. We sort of like the look of the Aerial Airborne but it seems like they have mixed reviews. Ideally a Samson would be nice but the budget is coming in around $1500 maybe with us stretching it to $2000 if there is a big difference in quality. I don't plan on us adding any speakers or lights just a few racks and a bimini in the future. Also, I think I read somewhere that it's better to mount to the side of the boat than on the top deck for the tower with an older boat...can anyone confirm that?
What would it take a boat like this to create a wake to surf on? It doesn't need to be anything great but I'm curious to what extent we would have to go to make that happen. Otherwise will stick to the local beach for surfing.
Thanks for any/all advice and look forward taking part on this site!
