Vote: which tower on my boat?

[mikenbecw]

I want to put a wake tower on my boat and would like your (iBoats community) opinion on which one to go with and possibly why!

Monster MT1

Barewest T4

Aerial Airborne

OR?

This is my boat below now, Monster MT1 then Barewest T4

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

I voted the Ariel but only because it has style and a nice swoop. If I had a second choice it would be the Barewest simply because it is better constructed.

i have an mt1, awesome tower, super sturdy!

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

I think I would like the Ariel Assault -- something about the how wide and square the airborne is at the top, to be universal, bugs me.

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

i chose the mt1, cause its the cheapest of them all, will give you more money for accessories and it collapse, some of the others did, but this is one im looking at getting.

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

I voted other just because I have a Big Air H20 tower and love it.

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

Chrclo,

What do you love about it? Can you expand? Was it the east of installation, how quiet it is, etc. How does the mix of stainless and aluminum do over time?

I like the fact that I can find exact examples of it and the Monster on my boat. That makes me more inclined to try it.

Whats your price range?

My personal preference is Roswell or Samson. Unfortunately both are over $2k for entry level towers and flow nicely with the boats they were built for.

Roswell style I have

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

My vote would be for the Barewest tower. I think it fits the style of your boat better. Nice boat BTW!!

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

Thanks to all who took the time to comment and vote! I am still not 100% decided yet (have one I am leaning towards though) but will post pics when I have one installed. I was hoping to stay under $1500 including racks and mirror but still be strong and silent.

ThreeMileBayWaker: nice boat and tower!

divepig: Thanks

Let me throw another one in the mix. DIY - www.diywake.com. I just installed mine and it looks awesome for a great price. It looks much like the Aerial so for me it was between those two. The support of DIY was awesome! No creeks, no moans, great build qualit for a better price than Aerial.

I think this is a really sharp looking tower.

And this is a pretty sweet package deal for an Aerial Airborn with speakers, racks, and mirror.

The moster tower is 100% silent. no rattles or creaks and folds down seconds. A+++

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

out of your examples I like the T4

 

[Hansolo99]

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

I like the Aerial Airborne. The monster tower almost looks overwhelming.

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

Just for grins, check out www.avengerwakesports.com too. I have one similar to the 2.0, and if I had it to do over, probably would have ordered from them.

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

no offence to anyone that has one but i think that monster is ugly.

Re: Vote: which tower on my boat?

A monster tower may not be the best looking tower on the market but it's universal so they try to make it look good for all boats. but I use a friends monster tower and it's great. I never used the wakeboard with it but I did ski from it. But compared to skiing off my sea ray 185 outboard I perfered the pylon to ski. It don't know if it's 100% silent because on my friends Sea doo islandia with a oil injected engine is very noisey and you can't hear anything anyway.
