I ordered it before I left afghanistan and just now got around to installing it... <BR> <BR>The Bimini is in the factory position and I will move it more forward when I have a chance. <BR> <BR>I cant wait to try it out this weekend, I have never rode behind a boat with a tower before. <BR> <BR>See what you think... <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/696504.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/696505.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/696506.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/696507.jpg" alt="Upload">

wow, looks GREAT!

talltigeguy 05-14-2009 5:40 PM

I think you are going to have a good time!

will the bottom pieces flip? looks like it would follow the windshield better if they will.

wakereviews 05-14-2009 6:05 PM

yep, the bottom pieces are installed backwards. I bet you can just take them off and switch them around though.

weskel 05-14-2009 6:10 PM

I am a moron... <BR> <BR>I made sure everything was perfectly aligned spent a couple days measuring and rechecking before I drilled and I install the lowers backwards.... <BR> <BR>They should flip right around, I will lift the upper part off as one piece and then simply flip the lowers.. <BR> <BR>So much for me bragging about my install.. <BR> <BR>Kinda funny though if you think about it. <BR> <BR>I'll post more pictures tomorrow of the correct install.... <BR> <BR>thanks for the catch 882001........

882001 05-14-2009 6:40 PM

it will look great after swap.

nick_in_ssp 05-14-2009 8:46 PM

I kind of like the look with them backwards. Gives it a little different look. But I would get really annoyed with everyone saying "you mounted that backwards"

You're going to love riding off a tower. It takes a few jumps to get used to it, but you will adjust quickly and never want to ride from the "ski-pylon" again. <BR> <BR>Have fun

nlindbert 05-15-2009 1:57 PM

yea they will flip around and yea there pretty nice towers just tighten up the set screws and the bolts before you ride they tend to come loose very easy but i used locktight on everything so its not so bad anymore <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/696756.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/696757.jpg" alt="Upload">

Did anybody else not notice Fakeboard Boat... That's one of the funniest things I've ever read. I'm adding that to my vocabulary. <BR> <BR>Kelly... Looks great. Have fun, you deserve it. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by guido on May 16, 2009)

does anybody know where i can get some of the rubber inserts for the old x star racks on my zero flex tower? i am not able to use half of my racks because they scratch my boards.

saceone 05-16-2009 12:54 PM

+1 on the fakeboard boat added to my vocabulary. <BR> <BR> <BR>looks cool though

gunz 05-17-2009 6:36 AM

benjaminp 05-17-2009 7:30 AM

I agree, great looking tower, and well played on the "fakeboard boat".

kev88 05-17-2009 7:37 AM

Looks great - lived in FWB for awhile and hung out a crab island often...great place!

nlindbert 05-17-2009 1:01 PM

aerial makes the tower it cost me 790 plus 110 to ship but i bought speakers racks and mirror from them also, they have great products at good and they sell alot on ebay and it was easy to install dont think i could of got a better set up for the money id say i put close to 1500 in the tower but well worth it

mkrueger313 05-17-2009 7:46 PM

+4 fakeboard is awesome.. i have never heard of that before i read the post.. definetly a new word in the vocab

dirtysparks 05-17-2009 9:04 PM

Hopefully that rack on the port side is for a kneeboard and not a surfboard!
