Got an amazing deal on a 2017 SX190 with less than 10 hours. Added a 2nd battery, kicker amp and new speakers. Wanted a tower for more water sports with the family. Guys at WakeTower Pro were ninjas, and did a great job with the install and recommendations.


Went with the catapult tower as my original Bimini would fit (tightly) and i can lower to fit in the garage.

I just looked at their site. If I could justify spending $3K+ to fly them here to install it, it would be a really cool option. For that price, though, no way.

Looks great, though!

I installed my tower and it's not too hard. Installing the backing plates is the hardest job because it's not easy to get to the mounting location from inside the boat, but I found a way around that.

@MikeTCU Do you know if they used resin between the backing plate and hull when they installed your backing plates? I was looking on their site to see their procedure and it's not listed.

Thanks. I was fortunate to live within a close distance. Only cost me $175 for them to drive down.

I believe they did.
