You wouldn't catch me up there on a boat the size of a V20.

I am a bit more tippy than I want to be with a T-top. Pics, please, post pics. There was a boat for sale a while back by BenFishin that had a tower. Before I made the leap I would have to ask the owner of a tower boat his opinion. Might need to reinforce the mounting points, depending on design. Don't forget Clearance issue with trailered tower boats. I don't think I could live with a tower on my V as I am land locked and travel great distance to get to the water. Then again some fold forward for clearance.

I have no experience with tuna towers, but I would be worried that putting that much weight up high on a boat as small as a V-20 would cause the boat to roll a lot more when sitting still at sea, maybe even to the point of rolling over.

How much does the tower weigh?
