Need a tower for under $1400. Have checked out Monster and Titan, but like the looks of DIY or Big Air better. I have a 96 Caravelle 206 Bowrider and need some advice. Has anyone had any problems with the mounting feet on the Big Air H2O? Looks kinda flimsy. DIY has the articulating joints that look more sturdy. Want a solid noise free tower. What do you guys suggest?

I purchased a DIY tower. Raul is a very good guy. If you are planning on purchasing a lot at once let him know and he will ussually give you a discount.

We have the BigAir H20 tower on our 98" Reinell. No problems with the mounting feet. We reinforced underneath the hull with some fiberglass cloth and resin and also added some 3/8" plywood a little larger than the backing plate too. The tower is solid and we've pulled up riders of all sizes. Noise isn't an issue on our boat. Overall we're please with the tower but just know that it is time-consuming to install.

the new monster towers are cool and their customer service is the best keep that in mind if you ever have a problem they always step up and take care of it.

I have a DIYWake tower but I haven't tried it out yet since it's still so damn cold around here but it seems to be really good quality and really sturdy . . . . The new Monster towers are freaking sweet though I'd try and get one of those fo sho <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Thanks everyone for the help. Have been getting ads for krypt towers, trick towers, and bulletlines. Any experience with any of these brands?

the bulletlines looks really nice but I have no experience with it. My DIY tower is holding up strong. Getting it powder coated next week.

Just bought a Bulletlines (Krypt) Tower. Should be shipping out by April 1. Will let you know when it arrives!
