Too many towers

hmrlvr · Newbie Joined: 06 Oct 2006 Posts: 6

I recently bought a '99 Ebbtide 21 ft Campione. I now am looking for a wakeboard tower. I've found many "universal" towers ranging from 900 to 3000 dollars. It will be used for pulling kids and adults. Does anyone have a type they like or dislike. I'm not looking to spend a fortune or the decision would be easy. Quality is important but I've gotta watch the $. Thanks for any help. Great informative forums Very Happy

People have generally been happy with Monster towers. I also like the Titan towers. Though it takes a bit to get use to the look, both of these are solid as a rock.

Long story short, I would look at Monstertower.com or Titanwake.com.

Add: It should be noted that I have never touched a Monster tower, so my "solid as a rock" statement re: them is related to word of mouth. I assume since they are very Titanesque, their stability is =.

Monster tower. I have one and love it. Would purchase one for my boat all over again if i had to. 1100 dollars, solid as anything, and hardly any noise

great info guys thanks. I've seen the monster, I'll check the other one as well. Any thoughts on the big air towers?

Also, total newbie question but, why are some towers mounted closer to the rear of the boat? Embarassed

hi
I installed a Big Air tower 2+ years ago. It has been rock solid with no noise so far
Installed it by myself in about 7 hours, a helper would have cut the install time in half.

monster tower or big air tower. They both look good

Based on recommendations from this forum as well as studying their website in depth, I'm going with a Monster tower for my boat. A tower, two board racks, and a mirror for just over $1800.00 shipped is a helluva deal if you ask me. And they seem to have LOTS of satisfied customers. Plus (and I know some disagree), I think the Monster is one of the more badass looking universal towers available. I love the fat tubing. Cool

I'm currently saving up for the tower... 2/3 of the way there. I will have it before the spring. Very Happy

EDIT: BTW, this Tahoe pictured on their website is identical to mine.

I have a BigAir on my I/O. I like the Monster Tower look, but only on the ski boat conversions. Here is my giant tug.

Monster tower has my vote, they make quality product and you can't beat the customer service.

Unlike the monster tower, it looks like with the big air, I could use the original bimini. Do those of you who have it still put up the original boats bimini or is purchasing another necessary? If comparing the prices of the two, adding a bimini would tack on another 500 bucks. Any thoughts???

if your lookin for quality,then go with monster..but if you in it for looks,i'd go with a big air(next cheapest).in my opinion i dont like the way the monsters look.it just depends on what you like

Monster has hot chicks that like to hang out by their towers so... I would get one and put it in your bedroom.

Not only is Monster Tower a great company with a great product, but they have exceptionally good customer service.

Thanks for the photo barelfly, looks awesome. I did speak with taylor towers last week. Sound and looks like a great tower. They claim it will fit around my bimini. And they were pretty happy with their mounting hardware. The price however at $ 2550.00 delivered is higher than others. Keeping the original bimini would offset the price though. Decisions, decisions Confused

. Nice settup, thanks. BTW, I think I saw your boat on their site Very Happy

are monster towers easy to take off any on? or do you pretty much have to keep then on there all the time?

I guess if you get 4 of these quick release knobs, you can pull the tower easily. Here's the site http://www.monstertower.com/accessoryqr.html

Depending on how you mount your monster, there is a possibility of keeping the original bimini.
