sorry i guess i missed several posts....how's the monster tower working for you? any complaints?
Hey guys, I finally got the boat polished last weekend, it looks great. I removed all the stripes and added a Monster Tower a few months ago, the boat is really coming along quite nicely. I hope to get a shower installed sometime soon, it won't be long before we can get out on the lake.
I havn't had a chance to actually use the tower yet (lake was 34 degrees F. the other day, a little too cold for me) but, it should work fine. The Monster tower was a breeze to install, I had to cut a few access holes in the boat and reinforce the mounting locations, this was the hardest part of the install. I would definitely recemmend the Monster Tower, it seems very sturdy after the installation is complete. My advice, if you decide to go with the Monster, is to make sure to reinforce the locations well and do a lot of measuring as well as following the instructions closely.
I will post some pictures as soon as I can, my next project is either the stereo or the shower, or both. Any suggestions on either of these topics would be greatly appreciated.

the shower is pretty quick and easy. i found one on ebay for a good price. you'll need to locate a secure place to mount the pump, it vibrates the crap out of fiberglass. i used the existing bolts to the factory ski-ring on the transom, you'll see them if you take the rear locker out. i mounted the pump to a piece of epoxied wood that's secured to the back of those bolts. i cut a hole in the rear locker for the hose and leave it in there when not in use. to use just lift the lid, pull the hose out, and spray away.
there are so many choices with the stereo so i'll just say which way i went... 12" JL sub under the dash, four 6.5's in the stock boat spots and 2 on the tower in tubes run by 2 rockford amps. i'm thinking of adding another sub or maybe just a bass-tube for the back seat to hear. it won't win any contests but it will crank.
Hey guys, just wanted to post a few pics of the boat after removing the stripes and getting it polished. It won't be long before we can hit the lake, at last check the lake temp was 36 degrees and rising, I just need to put on the finishing touches. Hopefully I can get a shower installed before the first outing, still working on the stereo. I'm having a lot of trouble with EMI in the subs, probably going to have to get expert help. Here's an attempt at posting some pics, let me know what you think.

One last try on the posting, I still haven't quite figured this out. Okay, how do you insert a picture, here's some links to chew on.

Last post here, I realized I did something wrong after hitting the reply button. Try the last link, I think it works.
Can someone help me out here, this is killing me. How do you post pictures to this site?

looks realllllly good! tower looks clean too. great job! looks like you've spent some time on that trailer as well.
to post a pic, it has to be posted online somewhere already so that the address starts with http....
the easiest way is to right-click on the pic, select properties and copy the address.
when you make your post, enter the pic info in this format:
http://whateveryourpicfile.com
edit...i should have explained that you might need to find a site that lets you attach pics. wakeworld does, i use that one alot.
