unnamed.jpg After stalking this forum for 2 weeks we bought our first jet today. We picked up the 2008 232 Limited pictured above. I assumed because it had a wake tower that it was a 2008 232 Limited S but now that I am looking for a cover I realize there is no such thing. Does that mean this was an aftermarket tower? It looks like the wake tower on the AR230 but not the 2009 Limited S. Any ideas what brand of tower this is? Any ideas of what kind of cover I can buy that may fit this setup? Thanks in advance for any help

That is an aftermarket tower. I don't know what kind though. The AR230 tower rear points look real close to these but the front points on this tower are off. It's possible you could get an AR or SX cover and have it modified. Here is a similar angle picture of mine that uses the AR cover.IMG_0122.JPG

You could get a cover made for maybe twice the cost of a Yamaha cover and it will also probably last twice as long,
I've gone through I'm on my third OEM cover in 7 years,

Welcome Aboard! She is a beautiful boat.

The difference in a SX and AR cover is just the cutouts for the tower legs. You could buy a SX cover and have an upholstery shop add the cutouts. That would likely work better than starting with an AR cover if the mounts are not in the factory location.
