I'm looking to add a wakeboard tower and was wondering if anyone has done this recently or know in the San antonio area of a place that sells/installs it. And if you have pics I would be interested in seeing different towers, currently looking at aerial, monster, krypt towers as there in my price range and have good package deals.

My bimini top is a little messed up, has a bent rod and is probably not going to last much longer so for the price I might as well spend a little more.

Mine's an '05 and the tower was added by the previous owner. It says "Big Air" on it. I know nothing about the brand but it works fine. I inspected the mounting points and whoever installed it reinforced the hull in those areas. Also, note the stock Bimini top doesn't work with the tower so it has a different, slightly smaller, bimini. The cover had to be modified as well. You can see holes were cut in it. They were hemmed and zippers installed down to the ratchet strap which now includes plastic clips to snap it together. Saratoga Lake 3   8-26-2016.jpg Tower with Bimini.png

Looks like may be this one:

If that's the one, not a bad price at all!!

Or you could look at getting it from Wake Essentials, I got a different make/model from them a couple of years ago for my previous boat, they were super helpful, very quick on delivery and their after sales support was excellent (and they have the best deals I could find).
