yes a tower is just to help you stay in the air. It will not magicly shoot you up 12 feet. Think of it this way. If you where trying to jump while holding onto a rope that is tide to the ground you will not be able to stay up very long. But if you where jumping with a rope that is tide 10-12 feet higher then from where you are you will be able to hold yourself up longer.

Yeah exactly what Matthew and wtbamoomba said. It will help i guess, if you can get a lot of air. It lets you stay in the air longer, instead of pulling you down like a normal pylon thing. Just make up some excuse so you can get one hehe. Razz

convice him that it will help get the boards out of the inside of the boat and make more leg room for everybody else. Plus it looks cool.

If you're ready for some inverts having a tower is helpful but if you're just learning 180s and grabs and jumps you could wait.

It's good for alot of things:

1. More hang time.
2. Get that nasty rope out of the back of the boat so peeps can sit back there while you board. No more decapitation assuming you have a center pylon.
3. Get those boards off the floor and make some room.
4. If you have a bimini, you might be able to stuff a tube up there between the bimini and the tower.
5. Gotta have some place to mount those tower speakers.
6. It's great for testing low overpasses on your local highways.
7. You always want a metal structure above your head especially if there's lightning around.
8. Great place to hang towels to dry.
9. Make good cleats for hanging bumpers off at the dock.
10. Makes holding the boat at the dock easy.
11. Looks cool. Shows your comitted.

Everything that Jklein said was true, with the exception of that highway overpass thing, fold the tower down when traveling haha Laughing
