I posted some pics of my boat a few weeks ago and put a tower on it today. Since I bought it I've added 1500lbs of ballast and the tower. The wake with the ballast is killer.






It's not the best looking or the best tower but it was priced right and it's pretty stable. We're going to try it for the first time tomorrow but I was hanging on it upside down and it wasn't moving, either way it will work better than the pylon I had before.

It's an aerial tower I got it off ebay.




I folded it down today for the first time, it's about ignorant that you have to remove the bolts from the front tower feet (6 in total). There has to be a better way than that, I'm hoping I can find some pins that fit tight or something a little quicker.

Same tower. I bid on some black ones but didn't want to spend more than 600 total on them so I kept getting out bid. A few days after I bought this one an anodized one went for like 650, I was kind of pissed and then I installed this one. I think the polished is best, we were super careful, left all the covering on the tower until it was up, and it still got scratched. It seems like it's more of a chrome covering than actual polished steel but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the compliments, I'll probably be putting some KMT6 speakers on it and some racks this winter. Aerial makes a combo wakeboard/kneeboard rack I'm wanting to try out as my g/f kneeboards a lot.
