Re: Which tower for my boat? Pic inc.
I can't find a link for the plasma?
I personally like a rear swooping tower, and like towers that have a bar on the side making a kind of V that the top attaches to. Thus, I picked out the Aerial Assault. The side bars are also perfect for bumper placement for rafting up. That being said, since I trailer, the side bars sometimes make it hard to reach in the boat when loading it. They also add width.
Does your boat have a large sunpad in the rear, or seats to both sides of the motor box. I ask because if you get in an out of your boat via a sunpad, then a rear swooping tower will put a bar or bars right where you get in and out. The plus is this gives you something to grab, the negative is it gives you something to knock your head on. My boat is 19 foot. This might really be harder if I had one smaller.
The last thing I wish I had considered is the width of the tower on the boat. Mine is really wide with the forks on. Too wide to get into the lift at the house I rent. Thus, I had to adapt some rotating blocks (modified the DIY wake ones) so I can rotate the racks. Thus, consider whether the tower your getting has the ability to add rotating racks to it.
Hope this helps.
