Default Opinion on WakeBoard tower?

I am looking for a tower for a new 2007 Centurion Elite V C4.
I have found these towers ( http://ltwakeboard.ca/wakeboard-towers/ ) ( I like the look of the hole shot tower )
After looking around a bit, they look to be a distributor for China made towers ( http://www.ltwakeboard.com/tower.htm )
They are quite inexpensive, and I can get one locally.
Otherwise, it is a Skylon tower for a bit more than double the price.

I know very little about towers or China imports or quality.
Opinions? Experiences?

Thank you,

Mark

Default Re: Opinion on WakeBoard tower?

The tower your looking at buying looks to be a great tower. I'm no expert, but I'll tell you what I know about towers from experience. The fewer moving/ adjustable parts the better. Years ago we fabricated our own thick wall aluminum tower and it performs great and lloks ok too. Loose bolts, lost cotter pins, etc, are the only problems we've ever had. They aren't that big a deal if you always inspect your equipment, but why should you have to do that anyway? Buy the most solid piece you can for the money. If the grade of the material is ok, the tower should be fine.
