If your buddy buys the boat and doesn't want the tower, I might be interested in buying it from him.

Wakeboard towers are nice.. just not that one.

The sun sport layout is great, and the 4.3 has plenty of power but I think it would all come down to if your buddy likes that tower or not. I don't see the point in buying a boat and having to fix 4 large holes in the body as soon as you get it home. Unless he can get that boat for a steal and has an arch in mind he likes that fits those same holes.

You might want to look at the tower on the boat a little closer. It is a monster tower - just like the one you most the link to. Looks strange the way they put the bimini over it though.

The tower is going away. That H200 is a good 3-5k cheaper then anything else in that age/size bracket in Florida of any decent make (4winns, sea, chap, crown). It's worth playing a few bucks to fix the holes.

At first he wanted to pick up a new Tahoe for like 20k... but saw one in person.

He got the boat. Funny story (not really), when he was driving away the former owner forgot to put the pin in the folding trailer tongue.... and the trailer folded at a stop sign and the boat ran into the back of the truck! No damage to the boat but the pickup suffered a good hit. The guy gave him back $1000 to cover the insurance deductible and whatever else.

I do not like those folding tongues for that reason, one more thing to go wrong and on a very critical component at that. I put a longer tongue on my trailer to help with launching so I don't have to put the rear wheels of my Jeeps in salt water and even though it makes it longer to store, no way would I want something that can fold with a pin holding it and 4500 lbs behind it....

I love our folding tongue trailer, would never want one that did not fold. Some manufacturers make good one's, some do not. Just like boats :D

Those pics make me hurt! Ouch! Expensive aftermarket tail lights. Not an easy location for a body job either.

I feel the pain!
