I'm looking for any recommendations for a wakeboard tower for my 1999 200 Horizon. I'd like something that is quality and looks good too and will work with my factory 6ft bimini.

When I was in the local Four Winns dealer a week ago, I noticed an unattached wakeboard tower sitting on the floor with a Four Winns logo on it. I'll therefore bet that you can order a factory built tower as an aftermarket item.

Four Winns sometimes does this, for example some extended swim platforms, gauge package retrofit (to replace those VDO gauges), and others are sometimes available.

Wow, I just looked at the accessory page, and there is a bunch of new stuff. Didn't see a tower for a 99 model though.

Of course, you could still check with the dealer, one might be available.

I don't like the look of those Monster towers on the Four Winns. Looks like aftermarket add-ons, which of course they are but don't need to look like it. :?

I do like the look of the one on the Four Winns accessory page. Anyone know how much that runs with the bimini attached?

No, link isn't working. I'll look it up when I get a chance. For the record I'm not adding one.

Well after a lot of internet searching I purchased a Big Air Tower. I was not shopping price, however the Big Air was about the least expensive. It's going to take a couple of weeks to get so I'll post a review later.

Ya, I'll do it. I would rather be the one drilling into my hull and take my time to get it just right. I saw in another post were you installed some speakers on you tower, two questions. What brand of tower and how did you run the speaker wire from the tower thru the hull.

It is the FourWinns Tower that is optional with the Funship.

I let an audio professional do the install with additional amp. They wired thru the tower into the hull....they did a great job...i will get you some pics tomorrow.

bit of advice, do not skimp on the amp...get a 100-200watt per speaker pair...better to over power than under power.

Also, I really like the http://www.monstertower.com polk speakers

Great pics ifourwinns, thanks. That is a very clean install. I hope the Big Air Tower that I ordered looks half as good as your setup. I'm thinking about ordering the 6.5" Bazooka speakers from Audio Allies they are about $240 delivered. Any feedback on either one of those products would be welcome.
