I am searching for the perfect wakeboard tower for my 97' Moomba Boomerang... I would like to keep the price right at $1000. I would like a solid tower with two wakeboard racks... any advice on what would be best. Is there anything cheaper, just as good... ?

These are what I have found...

mine is the avenger vortex. i talked to john and he hooked me up pretty good its sturdy and more than i expected for the deal he gave me. its the same as the accent. the diy is nice but i thought it was to big looking for my little boat. the diy looks good on the boats ive seen.

I also got a DIY tower up to Canada. It fit great(with some modifying as our beam width was slightly under their suggested width) and it looks great. Came with a light bar, speakers, 2 wakeboard racks(or 1 wakeboard,, 1 knee board) and customer service was great. 2 grand shipped to canada with exchange(at the time .86ish) and duties. That was the cheapest we could find and it works great.

I have a Monster Torwe MT1 which I am impressed with. I have bought both a monster rack for it and a DIY rack and the difference in the two racks is night and day. Monster quality is superior, very dissappointed in the DIY wake rack.

I was wondering if that was a tad too cheap.... I would hate to spend a grand for a bad rack!!!

I'm getting a wakeboard tower next week, but cannot decide if I should get a Monster or a DIY. I want one that is high-quality and will actually last. I like the Monster towers, but I don't feel like spending $1500 on a wakeboard tower that I'm not 100% sure about. With DIY, I found a basic package that would be fine for $950:
