That's a lot of weight to be putting that high up on a 20....squirrely at best with a 200lb person up there. I think it might work, but I don't think I'd like to be on the boat. Gotta agree with Reel.

Gotta take note of your creativity..........but.......... if you really have to sit high here are my suggestions:

1st choice: Sell the V and buy a boat designed and outfitted with a factory tower.
You may find one as small as 25' that has a small single person set up.

2nd: Put a lightweight but strong hardtop on the V, and outfit with single helm station.
If you're really serious........after you put on the hardtop, bolt on 5 45lb barbell plates
and see how the boat rides with that weight up there to simulate !

3rd: I have no other ideas except...... I'd pass.

Friend of mine has a tower on a 22 footer that measures 13 feet from the ground when sitting on the trailer. Has to be REALLY careful when towing to avoid trees.
