If you have ever wanted to add a tower to your boat, then you will definitely want to get some of the facts straight, and arm yourself with the insider information that the tower industry is hoping you never find out. Here are some facts that I hope you find useful.
The first thing you want to ask is what type of material is the tower made from? The preferred material is stainless steel. Many towers offer different colors, but this means some serious sacrifices. Painted towers are aluminum while stainless steel is by far the more time proven material that neither rusts nor fades.
Buying a wakeboard tower for your boat means making sure it will fit your boat. This type of tower is commonly referred to as a "universal tower." A universal tower is designed to fit a wide variety of boats, but there are some specs you should know before making a decision.
First, make sure that the tower mounts (the base for the legs of the tower) can be used on any angle. While many boats need a horizontal or flat surface to mount on, you may find your situation requiring a vertical (or side-mount), or even an angled surface. Since there can be a lot of stress on the base mounts, I recommend finding an aircraft aluminum universal base.
Since price is always a concern, look for a tower that comes standard with features such as a built in racking system. Almost everyone that buys a tower find themselves in need of additional storage for their boards or skis. If you have to buy a board rack, it will add an additional $260-$600 to the cost of your tower. In addition, make sure that you choose a tower that folds completely flat so you do not have to fork out an additional $650 for a custom cover for your boat.
Almost all towers "fold down." They real question is, after it folds down, how high does it stick up in the air. You want one that folds completely flat so you do not have to change your boat cover or worry about where you can store your boat.
Finally, the real deal breaker for a lot of buyers is the huge insider secret that I have saved for last. No tower looks like it will loosen when you first inspect it. An easy way to know if you are looking at a tower that is prone to getting lose is whether or not it has a sticker that says, "Do not use this tower for using towables!"
I was flabbergasted to find out that the most abusive activity you can do with a tower is to tow your family or buddies in a tube. But who wants to change the rope to down low when it could be up and out of the way of passengers.
We found that neither wakeboarding nor barefooting produced the most stress on tower joints. Tubing is the ultimate test of boating abuse. One manufacturer was so concerned about this that they decided to take abuse to the next level by driving their entire rig from California to Maine with the tower in the up position to find out where a tower gets lose.
The answer to the problem was ingenious. They added an over-head cross bar attachment that allowed the owner to expand the crossbars until the wakeboard tower was so solid that it did not budge. To prove their point, they are the only manufacturer I looked at that encouraged boat owners to tube with their tower.
If you do not want a tower with 8-12 inches of "play" in it after a couple of years, make sure your wakeboard tower comes with an over-head adjustable crossbar.
Doesn't it feel great to have insider info?
