HA ! Yeah.. I love the pic. He was excited about the boat's first trip back on the water .

Nice boat!

Oh, and that tower is pretty slick too. (cough cough/wink wink)

Thanks Guys . Always loved the style of the boat, which is why I chose to restore it . Wasn't always a fan of the towers, but now that its on I love it, since it keeps my much needed in AZ, bimini out of the way. I decided to add the tower once the top was off the boat for complete stringer replacement. Easier to add support for the tower with the top off, and figured "if" I ever sold it, the tower would be desired. BTW welchel86 - How do you like your tower ? I have not pulled anyone mine it yet .

You would be absolutely correct Mr Moose - Roosevelt Lake - Sally Mae Cove

I have no complaints on the tower. Did a lot of research on my options and this one seemed to best suit me for what I was looking for. (budget) It has been surprisingly sturdy. I am 6'4"/230 and it does the job it was meant to do with me behind it. When towing others, I have not noticed any excessive sway or noises. Also, there is about 100 lbs of equipment up there on mine.

mdb122 I learned how to wakeboard in Sallie Mae cove. I know thoes dirt walls well. My friends and I pretty much live at Roosevelt all summer. If I see your boat I'll float over and say hello. That way I can check out your sweet ride too.

I grew up on Roosevelt lake myself. I try to get up there at least every other weekend in the summer, so I am sure we will see you out there !

I've seen your work in progress, and she looks great. You have a gorgeous, and blank canvas to work with now, and am sure your creation will look awesome - Good Luck !

Thanks for the reply. I searched for a while too, and chose the most simple style for an older boat. I REALLY lucked out that the navy blue matches perfectly with my boat. The price was right as well . Your boat, and tower look great . Enjoy the season !
