My H190 has a Samson Tower on it. I bought the boat with the tower already on it, so can't help much with specs or pricing.

Looking to buy an after market wakeboard tower for our H190. Does anyone have any suggestions (with pics)?


So did you ever get your tower installed?

As I posted some time ago I have a 13th Floor tower. I don't think the 13th Floor tower is as attractive as the factory forward sweeping arch that Busacharger has, nor Norcalriders custom arch but I really like the fact that on the H240 the 13th Floor is mounted behind the factory bimini top and does not interfere with it when it is open or closed. It is also mounted in a location that is easily used as a hand rail for entering from and exiting onto the dock or a hand hold for keeping the boat put at a loading area. I find the rear mounting point of the tower is useful for hanging the fenders from more so than the rear pop up cleats as my cleats are too low in the water to protect the stern hull corners from most docks. It is also a very rigid tower and has plenty of head room clearance. I'm 6'-02". I often step onto the ski step, grab the overhead tower and swing over the seats avoiding foot traffic on the vinyl. I don't have to fold the tower where I store the boat but the tower is collapsible. I picked the powder coated color that best matched my hull, but polished aluminum is an option.

What I like about my Skylon PRO XT:

1. It looks good.
2. Tower mounting allowed factory bimini to stay (For my H190). Saved money and love the height of the factory bimini.
3. The mounting blocks are advertised to prevent or minimize gelcoat stress and cracking (Two years with no issue).
4. The tower folds up and down pretty easy for two people for getting in and out of garage.
5. The tower seems pretty rigid when out on the water and wakeboaders behind.
6. The tower ski rope connection point is far back enough to NOT cause a problem with the bimini.
7. The optional Skylon wakeboard racks add rigidness to the tower. I have one on each side.
8. The racks are easy to install and remove when folding tower up and down.
9. The Tower doesn't block your view to the right when driving the boat like other towers do (no visual blocks).
10. So far fully satisfied.

What i don't like:

1. Nothing.
2. Getting the bimini up and down is slightly more work to get under the tower, but it's less than a minute. Not a problem.
