Good morning people;

Well, I finally dug my trailer out of the snow bank and in the shop to thaw out. Then I got my wheel bearings cleaned, repacked and back on, wheels back on, and the axles moved back 6". Next I put the boat back on the trailer so I could drag it out side to finish mounting the tower. I needed to stand it up to locate the front mounts. Having done that, back in the shop to bolt them on.

The front mounts are not bolted down in those pictures.

It looks really tall and bulky. I'm not sure if I like it. Maybe it won't look so big once the boat is in the water. As you can see, it's going to be a while by the amount of snow in that picture. That was last week.

Looks good, it does look really tall. It was 85 here today so it won't be long I will be on the water. Looks like it might be a while for you.

Re: Rosswell Area 52 wake tower

i was wondering if you could measure yours from floor to the crossbar. Ours is 88 inches. I think it needs wakeboards, some speakers etc to fill in some of that space. Staying below freezing for a few more days, then it's supposed to warm up...

Looks great Quarter! Guessing when you get some gear on the tower and put er on the water it won't look so tall. Could be a bit taller because the front legs are mounted to the deck rather than a side mount. Looks fine IMO.

I'm putting same tower on in a few weeks.
