Default wakeboard tower

Does anybody know where I can find a wakeboard tower that looks like the Illusion X that Malibu boats uses?

Unfortunately, I have not been able to locate any information on this.
I am thinking (Remeber, theories here, no facts invloved) when initially designed, Malibu may have attemtped to patent it, in order to keep it custom to their Wakesetters.
But, I have seen no where that there is one available for sale from a manufacturer, or even an individual reselling.

Yeah, me either, Tige just started putting a very similar tower on their boats but I think they are manufacturing it their self also. Nobody else makes a similar looking aftermarket tower; maybe we ought to. I just like the cleanliness of the look. It looks more like the boat and not an add on.

Yeah, it does look slick.
I wonder how well it would perform on a regular boat though?
Since the mounting point is further back on the boat, does that affect planing more? Just kind of curious because you assume it would. This is assuming it is a normal boat without a lot of weight in the bow.
