Wakeboarding tower and audio install on a 1988 Ski Nautique 2001

This is what I do for a living. This was a custom install on an old wakeboarding boat. Almost everything you see is new. The tower, speakers, upholstery (not done by me), subwoofer, and the amps you don't see all took a little over ten days to do from start to finish. The end result: 1,000 clean watts of power for six speakers and a 12" subwoofer. Good for blasting tunes while you're out riding or for pissing off fisherman.

  • Profile view of the finished install. The bimini frame probably took the longest to complete, as the beam width of this boat required us to modify several existing components to get everything to fit right.

  • Rear view of the finished install. Each hanging speaker set has a 6.5" component set with a 5.25" speaker on the side that can rotate to play down into the boat if desired.

  • 6.5" Coaxial speakers in the front of the cockpit. Colored LED rings behind the grill make for cool mood lighting in the evenings. 6.5" Coaxial speakers in the front of the cockpit. Colored LED rings behind the grill make for cool mood lighting in the evenings.

  • It was hard to get a good shot of the subwoofer with the lighting, but it's positioned behind the rear-facing passenger seat. I coated the enlosure inside and out with fiberglass resin to keep everything waterproof.
