Default Looking to buy a tower for my son, where is a good place to buy?

I am looking to get my son a tower to put on our boat because he is tired of wakeboarding behind our boat without a tower. I live out on the delta in California and I am looking at something within a decent price range. Any suggestions? I also need some board racks as well. Thanks.

A friend of mine has a monster tower on a Caravelle Interceptor. He loves it and it appears to be a very sturdy tower. If I were in the market for a tower I would look there first.

I just ordered one off eBay. It looks identical to the DIY wake cheapo tower but the guy on eBay sold it with Best Offer for $385 plus $30 shipping. No telling how it works yet. I won't even get it in until Monday.

Highly reccomend monstertower.com For board racks, the dbot's are very nice and you can add for a surf board or knee board. They also make the robot paw (flag holder)--very nice!

I have a Barewest tower on my crownline and I love it. It is the model that folds down which is nice come winter cover time. It takes about 3-4 minutes to fold it down. I have had three kneeboarders off of it at once and it doesn't even bat an eye. I think any of the bigger mfg are all comprable pick one that is in your budget and looks how you want it to look and go for it.

I have a Samson Rack on my Chap and it is awesome. Folds down super easy and the build quality is second to none. Nice features too.
