Best of all, it doesn't look like it will cause any problems with your Bimini top.

    Exactly. I already put the bimini on the boat. It fits fine.

    Very nice choice Mariahmaroo!! Looks great! I also have a Talari and have been looking for towers. Have you wakeboarded behind it yet? Does it flex much when you cut to one side? I'm also concerned about how much my boat will lean when you cut to one side with the pull point so high but I guess the wake will just get bigger on the side you want then.

    It doesn't flex much at all. It isn't even notable if it is flexing. I am 6'1" tall and 195 lbs. I am very impressed with how strong it is. Also when somebody cuts with the wakeboard you feel it a little but it didn't seem much worse than when pulling from the low tow. It doesn't feel like the boat is leaning over, Nor does it persuade the steering much. I don't think you will be disappointed with this tower. I love mine.

    Fantastic looks.
    Your boat is on their website.
    You got a great deal at $800, it is $1000 now.

    Thank you.
    I knew my boat is on their website. I sent them pictures and they decided to use them. I was glad they did because if they use your picture they send you a free T-shirt. The shirt looks pretty good too. Anyways, I am glad you like it. Thanks again.

    Update...
    This is now my second season with the tower. It is holding up great. The tower does get water spots on it pretty easily, but that is expected. As far as towing is concerned, it is awesome. It helps pop people right out of the water, which is a big plus for learners. My wake doesn't get big enough for crazy jumping, but this tower definitely helps you get more air than the low tow. Anyways, I am still loving the tower in case you are interested.

    Not too bad, but I wouldn't travel with it that way. Sorry I don't have a picture.
