heroldmike, have you added fat sacs already? Making the wake bigger is more crucial in getting more air then a tower. And if you cant get air without a tower, you cant get it with one.

As for towers, my favorite aftermarket tower by far is samson. Check them out at www.samsonsports.com

heroldmike, word. Technique will then be what gets you more air. A tower honestly gives you no more ups. However, it does effect hangtime slightly, and always looks nice on a boat, when you get the right nower. I would pay to get a custom tower, in leau of just throwing some random tower on the boat... Unless you dont really care about the boat. However, its whatever your parents feel is right, assuming that your parents own the boat.

To answer your question, do a quick search on each brand on this same forum, there is tons of existing info. Tons.

just got a sampson at the beginning of this season, I love it and it looks insane - theyre all built custom for each boat and follow the windshield lines, etc..

but theyre a bit pricy
