ive recently bought a 16ft sltecher speed boat with a 90hp mercury outboard fitted, and im looking at fitting a wakeboard tower to it the beam is 76'' so most towers will fit but is it a godd adea to fit one to a small boat as this??
I recently put a monster tower on my Bayliner 175 (17.5' / 135 HP). One thing I noticed when my wife was pulling me up was that the front of the boat come up a lot more than when I was pulled from the transom hook. I'm 230 lbs and in the boat were just my wife and 4 small kids. I definitely had a significant impact on how the boat handled at least while being pulled up.
You might want to talk to whomever you plan to purchase from for their advise. I had spoken with monster tower support before I got mine and they were quite helpful. I'm sure you'll find the same for any of the manufacturers.
i think you will be alright. on my last boat, a 15' glastron, i had a custom built tower, and it worked out great. the only thing is the boat wouldnt track straight if i cut really hard.

I bet the right sized smart tabs would solve this. Contact them and see if they have any advise. It might make for a better wake too, if they keep the nose planted.
