Tower and Cover Mods Complete - Thanks to the board for the help!

[westtx]

The new tower is on and none to soon...we head to Lake Travis for a week tomorrow morning. Thanks to Captain Rick who called literally as we were drilling holes to offer a lot of well-heeded advice. I also appreciate the advice following my earlier post on how to make the thing line up. Finally had to take it to a local welding shop for a little cut and paste. Their handiwork is about to get a good test.

Because I had already purchased a firesale Sunbrella cover from Westland, I did some mods to make it fit around the tower. Pics are posted below. Now I  just need to get the bimini on, the tower speakers, amps, etc. and pretty soon I'll have me a $30K '99 Epic 22!

Here's a close-up of the velcro slit cut to to around the base of the tower.

Beautiful work!

I'll add a correction for you though...you don't have a "$30K 99 Epic", you have a "Super friggin clean $30K 99 Epic." Bet that thing looks great on the water.

Didn't check the other threads yet, but PLEASE let us know what you learned, were told, what worked and didn't. There's not many of us out there on the board that have installed these things, so your thoughts are extra important.
