    New Dimension Tower is in!!!

    Boy I can't wait for it to be nice enough outside for me to install the tower!!! It is really a hig quality piece of hardware. I assembled it briefly in my basment to make sure it all fit up well and was correctly going to fit my boat. Aside from have the "hoops" on the wrong side (my wife noticed) it looks and functions great. It's really light and the finish is great. The racks are very nice and once I polish them out, will set of the black tower well.

    So now I have the new carpet, new seat upholstery, and a factory look tower for the old 92!!! I'll snap some pics when it's all together.

    That's awesome! In 2 weeks I'm taking my boat to Wayne there at NDT for him to make and install it! I can't wait! It's gonna be a long drive, but I'm sure it'll be worth it!

        It appears only to be 16 holes! I figured I could tackle it myself pretty easily.

              Cool! There is a chance I'll be driving into town sometime on the 12th. Maybe we'll run into each other!

                    I have to take mine to him b/c he doesn't have a pattern for an 81.

                      I just finished installing a newdimension tower on a 99 sport nautique. Most of the install went smooth, the only unique thing was when I placed the tower up on the boat the first time, the reane feet were an inch too wide. I had to bend the tower to get a perfect fit. After talking to Wayne, bent the lower legs in one inch - perfect now !

                            The decal is painted on to the lower legs and is on both the port and starboard side. I believe you can request a color - if I new at the time I might have requested the writing in silver (match boat) vs white. If any one is thinking about self installing. I took pictures of the process and can give you a better idea of what is involved. The is a bit of fiberglass body filler that has to be applied to the underside of the boat, applied to the plate, then the plate goes on the underside - makes for a really solid bracket. No big deal. Other than that is it just drilling holes and being very careful.

                              mcbridek, would you mind posting the pics of the fiberglass body filler and the plates? The tower looks great.
