Well here you go. Got it installed today and hydrofoiled behind it. Love it! Definitely worth it and I wouldn't say I'm used to it yet after only 2 rides, but looking forward to the next few! Ended up folding it towards the stern to trailer the boat and that works well, I just tie the end down so it doesn't bounce around. Upon getting home I was concerned about how I would fold the tower down to get the boat into the garage, but it seems my plan worked. I first fold the fly high to the stern and then tie it off to the rear crossbar on the Nautique tower. Then fold the Nautique tower forward and it slips right into the garage! As this was the first attempt I was operating on the fly, so I'll now make some customized items, namely some sort of padding to replace the towel so the fly high doesn't scratch the tower, and something the tower can rest on rather than the 2x4 blocks. Also will make some custom tie downs and just remove the fly high front and rear cables when trailering.
Also, in this config, I was able to lower the tower on my own. I had a helper standing by just in case but managed to do it on my own. Definitely some effort involved but it really isn't too bad. Super happy about that since the majority of the time I'm prepping and putting the boat away on my own.
