Whats the difference between the Ski Tow Bar and Deluxe Ski Tow Bar? There is an image next to the ski tow bar but nothing for the deluxe on the build page. My Bennington sales guy said the deluxe bar was heavier built. It's $900 more and I would like to see specs for the two tow bars. We'd be mostly pulling two single tubers or a three man tube.

Sorry I can’t answer that. On the build page they show images of some of the options. I’m sure someone will be able to answer your question soon.
 
Here’s a pic of deluxe tow bar.

We really like our deluxe. Looks good. Much more substantial in size and higher over the outboard motor for pulling skiers. Great rail for holding on to when moving around the platform. Doubt that it really makes much difference in performing the purpose of pulling up one or two skiers. I would feel more comfortable when pulling heavier loads.

How fast will your boat run? I have same basic boat with the V-4 200 hp yamaha. It will hit 38/39

With the 175 VMAX SHO it hits 36/37 with two on board and 3/4 fuel. We opted for the 175 VMAX in black to match the boat & ladder color and save a few $$ toward the power assist steering. We might have considered a Mercury but the Yamaha came with a 6 yr warranty at the boat show. Really happy with most of the choices we made.
Speed is nice when a storm comes up but our passengers like to keep it below 30mph. So I am ok with it.
