tower help

okay this tower boat thing is new to me....want to put one on my old boat and a bimini...do they interfere with each other or how does that whole set-up work?

I went with Monster Tower. http://www.monstertower.com/
They had a far superior product for a lot less price $1195 and that price includes shipping. The tower is collapsable and folds down neatly into the boat for garage storage . You can use the cover that you have already.Depending on the boat and bimini you have you won't be able to use the old bimini unless you install it like I did mine. I called the engineers at Monster and asked if turning the whole rack around would effect the performance or structural integrity. After some quick calculations they came back and gave me a thumbs up. All that is important is getting the rope tie on the top to be within 18 inches of the center tow pylon. This gives the center of gravity the same effect when pulling a skier or boarder. This will save you the cost of a much smaller and $495 Monster Bimini. Send me a PM if you have any install questions. Hope this helps.

I think I am going with one of the Wake Designs Towers. Here is a pic of what it should look like on my boat. This boat is a 2006 model, but my boat is a 1996 model. Pretty close though. I live one block away from them. They said that it would mount and have no problems clearing my bimini. That was the one thing I didn't want to have to buy again.

On my Nautique the only thing that interfers with the bimini is the speakers on the tower. I have to open the bimini before I attach it to the tower. Kind of lame but it is not that bad. We store the bimini behind the motor cover on the floor. I do not know how to post pics, but if you give me your e-mail I could forward a pic of it.

Tell them I sent you and it may save you a few bucks. Also, show up with cash! :crossx:

My tower has a bimini top built in, but it's an 06 x-15

The photo will now be in your image gallery. Click on the photo you want and click it again to enlarge. Right click on the photo and select properties. Under Address/URL left click and highlight the address, right click and hit copy. Click OK.

No Problemo. Nice boat. There are not a lot of skiers and boarders on these forums or they just don't speak out about their boats. The sandbar seems to me more muscle boats and a whole lot of shouting and arguing. I do get a kick out of some of the posts and people. I have had many boats from Hallet offshore to Ski Centurian. With kids, I enjoy the tow boats the best right now. Take care.
