SE Models and those with large Bimini Tops.

[Kpatty95]

I sold my AR190 and I'm looking at 24/24 ft Yamahas with the large bimini tops. Since the frame does not collapse down are you still able to use the tower to wakeboard and tube etc? or would I be better off getting one that folds up? Thanks

Not entirely sure what your question is, but I have a 242X and you can use the tow point with the bimini cover on. The rope goes under the bimini.

So the rope does not get interfered with by the large frame?

Nope. The only thing I have to watch out for it the rope getting caught on the swing out board racks when I circle around to pick up someone. Sometimes the rope will catch the top of the board rack - but I always have a "rope wrangler" who's job it is to make certain the rope never goes under the boat, and doesn't catch on the racks.

The rope never touches the bimini - which is why it flares up so high in the stern.

You can see from this profile how clear it is.....
