I was thinkin about buying one of those new ar230 ho yamahas, til i saw how hard you guys were doggin it! so for now i just wanna get a tower for my '97 Mariah 21'. i dont want to spend too much (like a grand or so, i'll probably sell the boat after this season) but i like the aluminum towers and it has to fold down or detach fairly easy cuz i gotta garage it. i also heard you can get twice as much air with a tower! is that true, so if i can go 4' without one, i should be gettin 8' with one. sorry this question is so freaky long, any info will help.

False. A tower will give you more hang time in the air rather than height.

Not many towers will be easily detachable from the boat, but most fold down flat. Do a search for Monster Tower. They are the most favored towers on the forum, they are cheap, and great quality. www.monstertower.com

I've got a 95 Mariah Z202 5.7L Alpha One. I threw a monster tower on it, a 5 blade prop, perfect pass and some weight up in the bow and I think the wake is really good for an IO. If you're looking for a bigger wake, better pass and/or a little more air give any of that a try. Monster is great, mine is as sturdy as can be, but, the tower won't fold down because my windows are too long and wide. Because of your garage I'd be careful about which tower you decide on.
