Hey everyone! Its been a while since I've been on here.. busy with projects with wheels, not props.
I have a question. What's y'all opinion on putting a wake tower on a short (like 16') boat?
I bought a 16' Renken bowrider with a 140 merc in October. I built the tower over the winter & its ready for paint. After having the boat in the water I'm afraid the added weight, up high (tower weighs around 70 lbs) may adversly affect the handling of this short boat, especially pulling an adult wakeboarding.
I've built towers for a coulpe of my friends & have had no problems, but that was on 19' & 20' boats.
So what do you think? Is a tower too much for the sweet 16 or not?
