Looks good but I think it would run about $2k-$3k to buy/install a decent tower. I guess it's not a necessity but it definitely makes it look sharp!

Get a Titan for $1300 - $1600. Sturdiest tower under the sun.

For most guys, the first couple years your own skills will limit you more than the boat.

If I get a tower for ~$1500 - won't it still cost around $500+ to have it installed? I really like the look of the Sunsetter listed above - I think I'm going to test it out this weekend. Thanks again!

I think we may be getting close to the finale: can you guys tell me which of these you like better?

http://waco.craigslist.org/boa/1623360078.html
* 1100 hours (70 on motor)

http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/boa/1638400408.html
* 650 hours

Both $11k

If you have any skills at all in an auto shop or wood shop, installing a tower is a breeze.

If you get an inboard boat - but it's a d-drive - what will the limitations be for boarding?

Matt, if that Sunsetter is in pretty decent shape that has lots of potential. Rock an extended pylon till you can afford a tower. That would will throw a great wake. Same hull as the original Wakesetter VLX.
