gonna buy a 12' jon, throw a motor on it and try and build a little ski pole on it? think it will work? Know blake had a really small jon boat so i figured this would work. lemme know ur opinion

Yea blake's is insanely small, we didnt put a tower or anything on his cause it was wayyy too small...

Sounds like yours is going to be too small for that too, unless it's extremely wide.

BUT, with a 25 on it, you should have no problem riding behind it.

could you rock a little ski pole on it? How big is Blake's?

just got your PM right after i replied to this thread, sorry.

Umm... It all depends, cause on blakes, it's so narrow that a pylon or tower will tip it over if you cut hard.

your best bet is to just rock the rope like this...

That's my boat the day before we put the tower on it.

But if you REALLY want a tower, and trust me, it's VERY worth it.

Just hold out untill you find a nice 16 footer.

The tower will improve your riding alot.

K thanks a lot.. I live in Canada and my parents are just down in the states and they are going to bring one back for me.. and really 12 is the only thing i can find.. so i might just get that and ride it as much as i can. As long as it will work i dont really to care to much about a tower or anything

BryceBell, it'll work. It's enough to ride behind for sure.

BryceBell, yeah, yeah, yeah
I have some amazing spots where a boat like that would be stellar.
