[98JubileeZ214]

Did some looking at previous threads and most of the wakeboard tower additions were focused on bowriders rather than deck boats so I wanted to throw this out....

I have a 98 Jubilee Z214 that I picked up a few months back and had my mechanic go over it from front to rear and top to bottom, finally got it back this weekend and got it out on Sunday (in AZ) and had a great (first of many) day. Best thing is that they were able to pull the actual hours on the motor since it is fuel injected and it is at 170 hours (original motor), previous ower said they did not use it much, he was not kidding....

I'm looking to add a wakeboard tower, there is a guy here in AZ that does custom aluminum work that I am talking to. I like custom as it will not be collapsible (not needed/wanted) and he will custom make it to match the lines of the boat. I have a dual bimini so the tower will have to cheat towards the back of the boat so it can be used with the bimini up and not have the rope hit the bimini. In addition, it will have to side mount as the rear bimini lays where the tower would "top" mount. He said out the door around $1500 which is a bit more than others I am seeing but this would be custom built on/for the boat and will take a bit of extra work so the price seems about right. I'll probably add in some speakers and racks.

Has anyone done any tower additions to a deck boat? If so, what are your thoughts and anything I should think about/consider?

Thanks,
Jason
