hey guys i recently got a new boat its a pritty small boat only about 17 feet (outboard) but it actully throws a pritty nice wave when its trimmed. i got a couple water bags and that helped alot to. i can get decent hight and can manage to pull some sketchy 3's. im wondering if theres anything else i can do to get a bigger wave and also if its worth getting a tower or pylon casue my dad is willing to spend the $$.

thanks alot guys
mike.

Go tower, Monster, Big Air are both good/cheap towers.

well a tower will also add more weight to your boat..

c0mp|ex, what the dickens? where did you get that idea from?

Thats like saying.. I ride with an extra bag of sugar because it makes my wake way bigger!

heroldmike, Basically tower is marginally more stable on a boat then a pylon. A pylon will get you that extra hangtime but take up floor space and they always tend to look a little DIY - cost around 300 bucks. A tower will offer the benefits of a higher pull but also give you somehwere to store racks, make your boat looks the shizzle and be more stable - cost from 1000 to 3000 bucks

I'm not such a stickler for proper grammar or punctuation on a message forum, but damn! If this first message from heroldmike is what today's youth has going for it, well...sigh. It doesn't take much to spell words correctly and use a period every once in a while.

c0mp|ex, Wha?!

Do you honestly think that anyone bought a tower cos its weighed more??
A Monster Tower weighs 26kgs...
A Big air pylon weighs about 10kgs..

Since when did 16kgs make any difference at all?!

Thats just a pretty poor reason when theres so many real benefits to gain from a tower...

I'll second the Monster Tower. Great people to do business with. Products are of good quality and price.
Rapto, I hear ya.
Brit Rider your 100% correct. As usual. Cool

you gus ever have problems with your monster tower loosening up on you?

Brit Rider · Posted: Aug 09, 2006 2:32 am Post subject:

Lop, It is possible on a skinnier beamed boat to loosen slightly, or if all bolts weren't torqued down enough at point of install.

If you remove all bolts, clean the threads, loctite them, reassemble and add your second set of Anchor bolts (if not already installed) you should be set.

If its repeatedly happening then call Monster.. there's an easy fix and they'll be happy to help.

i never said that would be the main reason.
and hopefully it wont be.. theres looks also and more functionality.
but he mentioned water bags and it sounded like he was looking for more weigh so i threw that out there
chill dude

i have a pritty narrow boat, im not sure the specs but these towers are really adjustable ive heard. Is this somthing that if i order my local marina can install?

and im very sorry for my grammical errors i will waist more time making sure i use full sentences and proper punctiation from now on.

i also am sorry for my bad spelling

Brit Rider · Posted: Aug 10, 2006 3:16 am Post subject:

heroldmike, They are really adjustable.. different towers vary so refer to your chosen one but expect them to fit anything from a 17ft boat to a 24ft boat.

Your local marina may be able to install... depends how well set up they are. Call them and ask? Very Happy
