I'm at 8.5ft :-)

I have a pic of it in my profile. I made it myself though. Works really well.

I have just put a pic of mine on my profile, i have asked for a 7 ft tower, would it be dangerous to go higher, because of balance, any advice would be appreciated

Well, my boat is only 16.5 feet long, it's an inboard/outboard with an 88inch beam. I've had no sway from riders (and I ride with a big guy, hah). I'm sure other boats are different, but mine has no problems.

Yea Jay, there are a few more pics on www.diytower.com. Go to the thread called "Cody's tower project on wakeworld.com" or something like that. I have a bunch of pictures of it on there. I measured from the deck to the tow point. And no, i've not had any fiberglass cracking. I reinforced it pretty well.
