WakeBoard Tower Opinion please?

[markhsa]

I am looking for a tower for a new 2007 Centurion Elite V C4.
I have found these towers ( http://ltwakeboard.ca/wakeboard-towers/ ) ( I like the look of the hole shot tower )
After looking around a bit, they look to be a distributor for China made towers ( http://www.ltwakeboard.com/tower.htm )
They are quite inexpensive, and I can get one locally.
Otherwise, it is a Skylon tower for a bit more than double the price.

I know very little about towers or China imports or quality.
Opinions? Experiences?

Thank you,

Mark

Re: WakeBoard Tower Opinion please?

if i had a tower, i would want a fold down. don't be restricted by height.

i'd lean toward paying for quality. you've already got a sweet boat, you don't want a shakey tower. do you know anyone with one of those towers?

td is right about being able to fold them down. also, if you ever want to put racks and speakers on the tower, the weight adds up. if the tower isn't solid, you won't be happy...not to mention when someone is riding.

I helped my brother-in-law install a tower from www.diywake.com last spring. Very sturdy, easy installation, folds down, looks great, and inexpensive compared to others out there. We used the tower all summer and are gearing up for the coming season.
