Ok so we are ordering a display tower from titan to put in the shop but we want to be able to sell it at the end of the season fairly easy so my question would be What one boat do people most put towers on... aftermarket.. Like what would you order if you were us?

Thanks for the help guys,

How about a Nautique Super Sport, the predecessor to the Super Air?

Jere,

I don't know what boats are most prevelant in you area, but I would guess Sport Nautique or 2001 would be the most popular of the above choices.

03Belmont, I tried to edit it, but you're at the limit of poll options right now. You'd have to delete an option in order to add one.

I would say the mastercraft 205. The current X2 is the same thing, which is also the x-star up until about 2002 I think, and some consider it to ave a better wake than the current x-star. so i would definietly say the 205. i would probably take the 2001 second because i hear it has a good wake when you sack it down a lot.

I'm gonna say sport nautique...I'd say super sport, but I can't really picture the titan tower on it...I don't think it would look good. (yes, I know that they are practically the same hull (depending on year))

Id say an older VLX since it would look closes to OEM with that tower.

I would go with an older Malibu, since Titan is OEM for malibu. A lot of people with older Malibus end up getting a Titan

Liquid*Force*Rider, why would someone with an old wakesetter take the tower off just to put a titan on? Im looking to beable to sell wat ever tower we get either this summer or next fall not wait all my life til someone hates there tower on there wakesetter

I'd say no on the Malibu, just because IMO the Titans on Malibus are a dime a dozen. I'd like to see it on a Super Sport Nautique just because I don't know that I've ever seen it done before and I think it would look good.

DRAGON88, I may be wrong but wouldn't that make it the most popular, which is what he is looking for.

We converted an old school malibu echelon to wake.....with the wedge and what not plus fatsacs.....easiest one to convert IMO.

Super Sport Nautique for sure

Jere, that's a really tough one because not only do you need to pick which model, but what year. Different years are going to have different decks and therefore need different towers. I'd talk to Titan and see what their best selling one is and get that. Also, you might want to see if they'd be willing to exchange it if someone with a different boat wants it. I would think if you've got their best selling model in stock they wouldn't have a problem doing this.
