I've seen a few pictures of some. Anyone have more pictures/specs on their set ups? What would something like that cost? I have $2500 to spend on something wakeboard/wakeskate related and my decision is either a winch with money left over or a small boat with a tower. Thoughts?

My friend has a 2000 something Malibu so I'm not going for big wake and speed. I work part time and also go to college. I just want to be able to have fun riding with my friends for cheap.

ShutItDown, then get a winch, less than a gallon will last all day

I understand that. I am willing to spend money on a little aluminum boat with a 25hp or 40hp engine and tower though. I just want to see more pictures and specs of Ryan's or Nick's set up.

ShutItDown, Can you weld? Nick made that tower himself...
You should use the Search button. Multiple threads have been made on this topic. All the info you need is already on this site...
You asked for our thoughts, and I gave you mine, but you seem dead set on the lemons craft...so like I said. use the Search button...

MY buddy with the Malibu owns his own automotive shop and has a welder. I tried searching but found nothing. Can you point me towards an old thread about it?
Edit: Found the Lemonscraft thread. Thanks.

fastgreens That looks like a pretty sweet wake. Care to let me know your specs? Type of boat? Size? Motor? How long does it take to run through a gallon of gas? Thank you.

Nick Dauzat's john boat with a tower is easily my favorite thing to wakeskate behind. The i/o is very tasty, and it keeps speed really well.
