kdawg, I just installed one on my I/O and I'm very impressed with it. I was a bit nervous due to the low cost, $999 including 2 racks! I haven't received the racks yet (black was on backorder) but the tower is very high quality and super rigid. I was looking at Monster, but didn't like the swoopi-ness and it would have probably interfered with my canvas. Well worth the $$$ IMO. |

well i just bit the bullet and was lucky enought o win one on e-bay. got it for 725 . no racks though. this tower seems to look good on smaller boats. can u kinda customize the look of it? it looks like u can set up the rear bars a little further back so it isnt quite as tall. thanks for the post. wouldnt happen to have a pic would u? _________________ wounds heal, pain fades, glory lasts forever

kdawg, the tower is very adjustable. You can adjust the angle and width of all four legs. Is the tower you are buying used? If so, some of the holes the previous owner had to drill might be visible in your installation. I guess it's only a problem if his boat is much wider than yours. Good luck. |

I have had the roll cage for a second season now and I love it. It's sturdy as hell and doesn't rattle one bit. I would wish for a quicker way to lay it down however, but I leave it up anyway. I just hung two speakers from it now. You'll enjoy it, it's very simple yet it gets the job done nicely. |

I finally received my roll cage last week. I installed it last friday, I thought the instructions were terrible, but with a little common sense it wasnt that bad. I got to use it on Sunday and it was pretty solid no rattle or vibration. |
