DIYWake tower or keep my extended pylon?

I can't see myself spending big money on a tower so that is the question. Should I put a diywake tower on my 205v or just keep the extended pylon for now? If all goes well I'll probably keep this boat for the next 3-5 years.

Is the tower going to make that much of a difference over the pylon?

I really like my DIY.. If you go that route, make sure you buy it from their website and not EBay, you'll save about $40 that way..

I saw that they were cheaper on the site. Your boat is the actual boat that I showed my g/f to see if she liked the tower or not.

Is it pretty easy to get wire up for some tower speakers?

I dunno? I haven't wired them yet. Not thought about it. I'd imagine it's like the other towers as far as wiring goes.

Id recommend a monster tower over DIYWake. Monster's customer service is second to none, and has a much nicer profile IMO over the diywake. A MT1 is in the 995 range, so a setup with racks wouldnt be too bad.

DIY with a free rack was $841 shipped. and That was via EBay. You can get it for $799 shipped via their website. So for an extra $350 or so for the MT1 with a rack.

I love my diy wake tower. I got it with the tower, two board racks and the speaker can kit for 1250. I thought the customer service was great. had to swap out the speaker can clamps for a different size diameter, no problem got em back with in 3 days. Directions were pretty good and, Raul, the guy that will answer the phone will pickup just about time of the day. Go DIY imo

I would sell the pole and move into a tower. You just have more options with a tower. Speakers, racks, mirror arms etc. If you are keeping the boat 3-5 more years then you will get your money out of the tower and it still should hold value when you go to sell your boat.

so how much side to side sway/wobble do you guy get with your diy towers. when towing on the water and with a wakeboarder cuttting out

I thought about getting the fully loaded one as well, but the speakers don't seem like very good quality. You can get a 4 polk audio 300RMS total and 4 lights on a complete frame for 4-500 on ebay. Ill spend the 200 or so dollars to get something real nice.
