Question and info about 04 SAN 210 Tower... and boat overall

Looking at picking up an 04 Nautique. Like many, I'm not a huge fan of the tower. I was wondering if anybody knows if the more preferred FCT 2 tower (2000-2003) can use the same mounts as the 04 tower? Will I have to drill new holes or anything? My buddy has an 03 SAN so I'm hoping he will be will to trade me (good luck I know).

Also, Any drawbacks on an 04 to be aware of besides the tower? A SAN has been my dream boat for a while so I want to make sure i get what a want. I would have preferred an 03 or an 05 but the price is good on this 04 so I feel like I shouldn't pass it up just because of the tower. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
