E Series Tower with Bimini Up

[Guest]

Does any one have pictures of an 07 E Series tower with the bimini up?
I have heard they are a pain to put up.

I'll post some tomorrow for ya.

Here are a bunch, I don't know how tight you are looking for. It looks great up, but a major pain. We actually would leave it up most of the time, even to and from the lake. 90% of the 9 miles to the lake is under 40mph and I just stayed slow the last 10%. It was easier to do that, than take the top up and down on every trip. Our new tower/top is a snap.

Mine is a custom from a company here in So Cal. It lets me use my rotating racks without any straps getting in the way. http://www.adleecoversboats.com/

thanks guys. I am trying to get a couple of pics of one side of the bimini so I can tell where the poles hook up. Never used one before but plan to put up this weekend when I haul the 20V down to Bullshoals for a weeks vacation. Air temp mid 80's. Water temp 72-74. Wind spotty but enough protected coves to get some water time in.

Hopefully pics will help. ragboy I will enlarge a few of your shots to see if I can figure out but dark top and pole contrast might be issue.

Thanks again. Just looking forward to some good water time and to get away for a bit.

Thanks ragboy. IMG_0459.JPG looks like it will give me what I was looking for. I will make a 8 1/2 x 11 copy on one of our hi-res color copiers at work and go from there. That pick is worth a lot of words.(10,000 I think)

Thanks again,

Darn in all the excitement of going again I forgot to get one and borrow a wake board.
Maybe next trip

Where's your sense of adventure? Just borrow a board. I bet if you went to your local pro shop or your Tige dealer's pro shop, they'd be happy to loan you a board.

I still can't believe you turned ragboy down What a deal that was.

dogbert it was/is a fantastic deal by ragboy but I didn't want to take away from other members when I have my cluster-headache attacks. When those happen I am completely non functional for hours until I can get my meds past the pain. There are high odds right now that I would get to try it and I would have it for a week. As to my sense of adventure it is lost but I will find it. If the trip does what I hope it does for my head I will go to the local shop and test a board down at Bullshoals. This trip I am more interested in being able to make it back up on ski and advance to performance ski to take some easy cuts. With the clusters the way they have been lately, we are more concerned about making the drive from Chicago to Bullshoals than I am learning to board.

Chpthrils pic has a strap on it, mine don't have any straps, seems different. The tower support also looks different.

I thought you had the Z tower?
