WakeBoarRder180, first let me say that i havent seen worse posts since the days of punkybitch.

03Belmonts point being that he will get more results in the boats and accessorys. also way to make a post not helping out ANY dick head!

really good tower resource is Http://DIYtower.com I think thats the site.

EDIT: I guess someone allready posted that link try searching the fourms for DIY towers perhaps you will find some more data. good luck!

There are a lot of post on this topic if you just search for "homemade tower"

WakeBoarRder180, I believe 03Belmont gave the appropriate advice by directing the guy to the right part of the message board.

Wakeboarder180, see what bad mouthing people who are on this site gets you? Banned! Rolling Eyes

Jean colsen, if you do a yahoo search you might find something... I know out there somewhere I saw a site that showed you how 2 do it step by step.... Also I remember seeing on ebay a few months someone selling plans for a universial tower

i made my own pilon, havent installed it into my boat yet, but it looks like itll do the trick right.. all you really need is a metal shop to custom make all the parts.. just follow the DIY site and it should be pretty straight forward

So how do you determine its a boat and accessories question and not a newbie question? If it was posted in B&A belmont would be bitchin that it needed to go in newbie. I've never seen someone post so much without making 1 good informative post.

Hey, if you build you own tower will the Correct Craft police come looking for their patent money? Razz

Building a tower yourself, I guess would be good. I thought about it myself ages ago but I found Monster tower got one and I love it. They build awesome towers and are great people. Not very pricey at all and would be alot better than a home-made one. Hope you find what your looking for good luck chap.

noneya, 03belmont did post advice along with saying it should be in the b and a forum. more people linger around in there, and this would fit the bill for that forum, therefor helping jean get more and better responces.

people, it is ok if something goes a tad bit off topic, thats what we call variety. no reason to get all POed.

jean, i would go with a monster tower myself as well. they are bone cheap and very high quality. if there is a reason you cannot get one of those, try out joystick pylons tower. we used to have on of those on our first boat.

I built a 7 foot pylon for $35 and I did everything myself. It's super strong and no drilling in the boat was required. the only reason I only made it 7 feet was due to the fact that anything bigger wouldnt have fit in my car when we took it to the lake.

Just look for guides on goodle and stuff, and previous tower builders should give ya some advice because it is basically bragging for them
