Posted: Jul 18, 2009 11:12 pm Post subject: Help me find a tower that compliments my boat |
|
|
I have been starting to look at towers lately. I really like the look of the "Aerial Airborne", but my local installer is not impressed with the fitment of those. He really pushes the "Aerial Assualt". Now I know that is a nice looking tower and it comes with intergrated board racks. I am just concerned that it may look too aggressive on my Larson.
The 3 brands he pushes are Aerial, Monster, and Air Boom. I also like the look of the "Air Boom 3D", but it seems quite a bit more expensive in comparison to the other brands. I guess you can see the style I am going for by looking at those two towers. I like the towers with the bar that flows with the windshield.
If you have any advice on these towers please give my your input. Below is a link to each tower so you can see. Also is a picture of my boat. If you have another suggestion please let me know. But know he will only install the brands he pushes.

Man, those are kinda pricey.
Personally, I have had outstanding experience with www.monstertower.com Their pricing is affordable, their quality is topnotch, and their service after the sale is second to none. A speciific example...one of my board racks recently broke. This was an old board rack that was out of warranty. Didn't matter, Monster hooked me up with a entirely new boardrack. Didn't cost me a cent and was in my hands in less than 72 hours. I can't say enough good things about Monster Towers.
Also, don't let an "installer" dictate what brand to buy. A half a day, two people, common tools, and common sense are all you need to install it yourself. I realize that its a bit intimidating but they really aren't that hard to intstall. Why spend your hard earned money to pay for something you can do yourself? Seriously.

And an overpriced tower just means you paid too much. Hey, its your money, if you want to drop a couple thousand bucks on a tower and install with the goal of "looking good" then go for it. _________________ Hilton Head Wake Sports.com

| After researching towers and talking to people I just ordered a DIY. Raul the owner spent over 30 min talking with me and taking my order. Talk about customer support. Can wait to install it next week. |

I installed one of these on a 98 Air Nautique and have not had a single problem. It looks great and functions perfectly. i weigh 250 pounds and the tower doesn't even feel it.
check out their web site and ask for Kyle
