Ck out this tower I built over the winter. I have a 95 bayliner 2050 with a 4.3l... Does a good job for starting out. About 600.00 into it. I make the racks out of 1/2 inch plate aluminume, had them cut at a shop then sanded and polished them. Speakers I made out of pvc tube 6 inch and glued cap on them, painted and installed speakers, clamps off ebay for 50.00, total in speakers and racks 325.00.

it looks great how did you bend your tubing and what kind of metal did you use?

Had lesman iron bend the arch with their roller, bent the 90 with a exhaust bender at my buddies shop. Its 2 inch aluminum for the tower and I used exhaust tubing for the part that attaches to the boat for cost and streangth.

Awesome job man, not much more rewarding than building your own Tower. You'll enjoy it!

Nice Accessories sitting atop the tower!!

Oh, and very nice tower!! Great job! Very impressed with how nice it looks. The accessories help give it that "Bling Bling" effect.

Scott, nice work there. Did you powder coat it or paint it? Looks very nice. The racks are very impressive also. When I built my first speakers cans out of PVC, I thought about adding the smaller tube for a tweeter and getting component speakers also. That set up turned out very nice.

It is powder coated, thanks...

Looks just like the Skylon Swoop Classic. http://www.wakeside.com/page/W/PROD/skylon_wakeboard_towers/skylon_swoop_oem_ts

Great job! Best DIY tower I've seen, hands down.
