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

You should check out Skylon Towers. http://www.skylonsports.com.
I put the Skylon Swoop X-treme tower on my boat. I love this tower, it is very stable & quiet espc. with the Batrack wakeboad rack. I would recommend them for this tower.

I listed the info for this tower from Bart's watersports website on this tower. they are selling this tower for $1099.98:
Because of the unique design of the Swoop X-Treme Tower, it will fit almost any boat. The top section is telescoping to fit all boats 78" to 102" wide. One of the most rigid towers on the market, it easily collapses without tools utilizing “Heim” joints and turn knob design. 360° unobstructed visibility for driver and passenger. Large 2" diameter tube. Constructed from aircraft grade aluminum. It’s all about strength, quality and style.

ours came with a custom made Roswell tower/Bimini.

the only problem i have with mine is the previous owners never kept it tight to keep straight. now no matter what when i set it back straight it holds until the tow to the lake and it's worked it's way back to being tilted to one side. i think this is due to the pivot points in the legs and set screws, drives me insane but still pulls with no problems. the bimini design was weak as well. you have to open the bimini all the way mount it to the tower and it's on. there's no way to close the bimini and attach it to the tower when not using. i would have to take it all the way down then its in the way inside the boat....rrrrrrr why, makes no sense!

my friend has a sea ray thats pretty close design as my 190 horizon. he has the boom tower. it has the lower arms that go from the front of hte windshield to hte bakc on both sides then the tower arms mount onto those going to each side. this design is much better looking in my opinion. it looks like this and he says breaks down real easy if need be.

Image

the only one i would stay away from is monster, just not a fan of the look.

good luck.

I looked into 13th floor towers....but they are a bit pricey for me. Plus....every little thing (backer plates, bolts etc) were not included in the price. Yours does look really sharp though.

I've been very impressed with the customer service of monstertower. They go above & beyond the call of duty.

Other forums seem to have many members that agree.

Have a monster tower on my 180, they are easy to install directions to a T. They are here out of GA and I have been to their location a couple of times, great support as said before. They were purchased a year or two ago by XTP. If you can afford their sound products they kick butt as well. http://www.monstertower.com

its a bit pricey at around 2k i belive, but ive seen a few installed on boats around town and have been to the shop to see them in person and they look like a really good product. i dont know too much about all the different towers out there but hope to have one on my H200 someday.

I like your tower a lot. The lines match the boat really well. What kind of tower is it? Did you mount it yourself?
