Wakeboard Tower

[Russmarks]

Thinking about adding a tower to my 04 195LR, there are a lot of choices for a lot of money, or go with a "Universal" fit for around $1,000.00. Anybody else add a tower?

Re: Wakeboard Tower

I put a Barewest ProZone 5 tower on my new 2007 Stingray 185LS. Looks great and works fine. The dealer said it was one of the easiest to install they had ever done. The only thing I didn't realize when I ordered it was that the lower horizontal bracket blocks my view over my right shoulder (I sit high so that I can look over the windshield). Also, it doesn't fold down like some other brands, so if this is an issue for you, look for a different brand.

Re: Wakeboard Tower

go to the monster tower website and follow the links to the stern drives, there are a bunch of stingrays looking good with one of those. Also, go to Costco's website and search for a wakeboard tower, they have a package that is modeled on a stingray.

I have no experience with these, though, just looking as I want to pay off the boat first.

Re: Wakeboard Tower

i just put an Altitude tower on my boat. it looks great and o have not had a single problem with it. not creeks or rattles and it has been pulling my 250 pound body around. check it out at www.wakeboardtowerandracks.com
its a smaller/new company so there isnt much information on it. but when i called the guy was very helpful and knowledgeable about boats and towers.

If I were you I would look into an Avenger 2.25 Universal tower. I got one and it looks great on my boat. Or look at a Big Air Ice tower. These are two great universal towers at under $1000.

Re: Wakeboard Tower

Try Barewest Towers, www.barewest.com They are selling their collapsible tower T4 for $1250 right now. You did say you wanted to stay up $1000 be careful trying to do so, often it will lead to spending more money down the line because of lack of quality.

Has Anyone Heard Of The Recall On The 2010 Stingrays. Carb Screw Problem And Throttle Sticking. I Recieved A Letter From Stingray Telling Me To Not Operate My Boat. Anyone Else?

Re: Wakeboard Tower

I think the price of the towers is ridiculous probably no more then $200 in materials and they run over $1000
just go out ,buy some stainless and weld myself up one.

I would like to see pics of this when its done. If you can make it look as good as the one you buy, or close, then you might want to consider a side job doing that.

Re: Wakeboard Tower

you know...with a good tubing bender, welder and some mounting brackets it might be possible

Lets not forget getting it dipped in chrome. After all that, paying $1000 doesn't sound so bad after all.
