I just put a BigWake Tower on my 185. Pretty much the same thing as one of the Aerial's. Been happy with the tower. Installed it by myself working about 3-4 hours are night and about 2 hours in the morning to finish the wiring for the speakers and all. Took it out and wake boarded all day, came home, tighten all the bolts and set screws. No issues yet.
Want to say it was like $1400 for the tower, kickers, racks, and shipping.

Also if you do order from Aerial, grab a pair of the their bags as well. I ordered some from Aerial and with about 250 pounds in the bow the boat throws off the decent wake (we normally only put 3 people on the boat). _________________ -Michael Ferrari |

it might be just me, but the two back legs on your tower are backwards. i could be all wrong, and my back legs are backwards. idk. _________________ trying to find a $5-7K usable saltare if anyone knows of one. |

They are backwards from how they are supposed to be. Wanted a different look to it and actually helped getting board off the rack by standing on the seats/haul _________________ -Michael Ferrari |

I mounted the feet on mine on the top flats for a couple of reasons. Less strain on the fibergalss since the feet aren't cantilevered out and less likely to hit docks etc because they aren't overhanging. It 's also easier to load/unload boards since the racks are closer. Plus it makes the tower taller. |
