Hello, I recently purchased a used ski tower. Does any ony have any creative ideas as to how to mount it to the boat and how much stress will this create on the fiberglass. I was thinking about making plates to mount on the outside of the hull that will attach to the tubing and maybe having plates on the oppisite side of those to try to relive the stress. Any other ideas?

You should certainly have plates on the underside. Without seeing the boat and the tower, it's really hard to say.

If you go to the Monster Tower Website, they have a section on how to install their tower, they said for boats that have thin fiberglass, thet suggest glassing in 3/8" plywood, where the mounting pads are.
