Tower or pole is very nice no matter what as it allows you to use all the seating in a direct drive. You can get by with out a tower or ext pylon but you will eventually want one when you get better. As for weight, it it is heavy... put it in the boat. Sand bags, Lead from tire weights, concrete bags. Your best off dropping the loot on at least one sack for the back (if its direct drive) gethighsports.net has a 700lbs sack for $70.
