Re: Redneck Wakeboard Tower

Have you seen what the prices for a T top or wakeboard towers, they are a little rich for my blood. It looks like a well thought out well constructed tower. It probably does weigh more than the OB but something about that photo tells me that was no speedboat to start off with.

Re: Redneck Wakeboard Tower

now that's funny I don't care who you are.
Those guys probably have one of those free boats: 1970's vintage bowrider. They clearly put a lot of skill into building the tower, which is the fun of it: a ridiculously over-engineered device. Better they put theri energy into that than sittnig around in the A/C somewhere playing video games.
But still, I might not let them near my daughters....

Good American kids with their priorities set right.
Having fun instead of worrying what the Marina queens think.

After all, if it ain't fun, why bother?

Re: Redneck Wakeboard Tower

I am sometimes amazed what the clever fellow can do with 2x4's and some bolts.

I see ZERO wrong with this, that sucker looks solid; Turning some old tri-hull (which was a used boat when their Daddys were their age) into a feasible wakeboarder? It shows some forethought, initiative, skills, and boating-fun priorities. It looks like they knew EXACTLY what they needed, and built it themselves without the 'Marine' pricetag! Makes me durn proud of America, I tell ya! (Not really kidding at all)

I say, "Hats off to them!!!" Boys having fun. The world can use some more Rednecks.

Re: Redneck Wakeboard Tower

Notice the bow rail moved to the rear? I can't belive that boat is floating as high as it is with a picnic table on top of it and 5 big boys or is that a chick in the passenger seat?

Re: Redneck Wakeboard Tower

Where are the stereo speakers? The could have fabricated those out of wood too.

Re: Redneck Wakeboard Tower

I would give some good points for their hard work. look at it from a different prespective. They thought of it and went to work and the final result is what they put into it. I would say a job well done!!! Don't be too fast to judge them for they are the future 'enginerer' and what not. Well Done Boys!!!

they would have to look like the old radio that was on men of honor.

In my opinion anything that is made for a specific purpose with NO consideration for aesthetics or proper materials fits the category of--

Okied

Rigged

Mickey Moused

and/or Rednecked

Re: Redneck Wakeboard Tower

well if the idea was to make the boat heavier to make a bigger wake, that should do it!
