Why not use the tower? Extra launch is never a bad thing...

price.dan, you took the right of my mouth! Laughing

tahoeskater, the boat I predominantly ride behind didn't have a tower for a long time, it was fine, but there is a tower on it these days and it is much better. Not a huge difference but if you got a tower, why not?

I have always used my tower, better for w2w and also if you have a DD using the ski pole would prevent people from sitting in the back seat.

When I first started riding boat, I didn't like the tower because I was used to the jet ski, but once you get used to it, SOOOOO much better.

Try it out for a little bit and I think you will like it more.
