Speaking of welding.....I need some minor aluminum work done too.....

Always thought about adding a half tower to my boat as they had a factory option for it, but wasn't high on the priority list due to the $$$$$..... But I came across a nearly perfect sized used tower for the same price as the helm box alone, so I drove out to houston and snagged it..... It should fit fine, but I need to change out the bases on the 4 legs (or find the matching ends and have those welded to a plate), along with a backing plate for underneath.....

Here is the tower....

Also, I need to have some aluminum tube "steps" cut and welded into the existing hardtop frame..... There are two cross bars already there that are ok as steps but a couple more would make it easier to climb up/down.... You can see in this pic where they would go....

Problem is while the tower is easy to move.... the boat...not so much....

Suggestions?
