I have waited for over a month for all parts to arrive and then I had to begin to plan the install. All of this went on while I was doing some other things (new fuel/air separator, painted jets, painted windshields, installed bow speakers, replaced jet pumps, and stuff)

Here is a picture and I really like how sturdy this came out. I went with the powder black although the mirror and wake/knee board holder are chrome.

I can keep my existing bimini since I planned for this upfront and I can also still use my factory cover.

I will try it out on Monday IMG_1070.JPGIMG_1071.JPG

So did you have to make any holes to fit the tower? If so, what did you end up doing with them?
I believe that one of the holes is visible in his top picture.

I ordered new speakers for the rear holes (6 speakers in total now....) My son really liked the kayak bags idea so I may still decide to do those instead. This would provide 2 holes where kids could stuff shirts, phones, etc. and it would be in a pretty accessible area. The great part about the rack is that I have so much extra storage in the ski locker that can be used for the cooler, garbage, other (?).
