The local ski/wake shop said that the Air Boom Aireal 3D towers are really popular but I've never heard of them. Anybody ever see one in person, use one, ridden behind one?

They are going for $1750 and they will install for $200.

What do you guys think? They also come stock in 10 different colors!

PS - The website kinda sux

I had one on a Cobalt last year. Loved it, mine was red. I never had any problems out of it. I also didn't have them install it. I ordered it directly from the company and had my dad's dealership install it. It was a sweet tower and I love the way it looked. I am rid of the boat now, so I can't give you any long term reviews but for the season that I used it, it was a great tower. And Airboom's accessories are awesome too. They make some of the most kick-ass stuff out there.

Did the tower rattle or make any sort of ordinary noise? Can you compare this to any other tower that you have ridden behind?

My choices are narrowed down to:

Monster Tower - monstertower.com
Big Air Pylons - bigairpylongs.com
Air Boom Aireal 3D - airboom.com

Anybody's experience and opinions would be great!

Haven't ridden behind either one of the other two. I can tell you this. I did have a rattling problem at the top of my tower, but come to find out it just hadn't been tightened all the way. I took some liquid screw stuff and it fixed it no prob. l was between the monster or the Airboom. I didn't do the Monster because of the look and the Airboom I could get red and I really liked it. I had planned on Accessorizing mine (although I never did) and like I said I think their acc. are awesome.

Had an Air Boom tower on my last boat, though not the model you are looking at. Have a friend who has a Air Boom tower on his Calabria. Neither of us had any issues. Air Boom is also great to work with. I talked with Ron's wife on the phone and e-mail back and forth for what seemed like 2 days trying to get all my questions answered and an issue resolved with the local distributor. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS GREAT.

I would not hesitate recommending their Company, though have no experience with that tower. We both had an older model tower that is not even offered now(same look as the 3D, just not as rounded).

I have an AirBoom tower but it is the older model and it has been a great tower for me. Never had any problems (noise, vibration, etc.) with it and it folds down nice for when I store my boat in the garage. Monster makes a great tower as well and the owner is a regular user on this site. Either way you probably can't go wrong. Here is a quick pic of the older version of their tower on my ride. Late.
