I have a MC 205V and want to add a tower. What do you guys think about monster tower?? Or do you suggest another brand. Must be able to handle some good tork. Guys doing big tricks over 220lbs.

IMHO it's not the best looking tower out there but it does the job just fine and you can't beat the customer service and price.

It really depends on what your looking for. If you want a good deal on a tower that will get the job done a monster tower will work. If you want a top of the line tower I would recomend a New Dimensions tower which is an OEM tower. The towers cost about twice as much but they look alot better and will help improve the resell value of the boat. Either way you go that boat has a great wake and a tower will make a huge difference. http://www.newdimensiontowers.com/home.html

My monster was great but you might want to consider a titan series II if you want something really strong.

I installed a Monster Tower on my boat and you will NOT have a problem with strength and rigidity. You would literally capsize my entire boat before the tower has any strength problems...and I'm not exaggerating. It was designed with finite element analysis (structural engineering software) and you can tell.

Now, if looks are a big concern then I don't have much to say. I think Monster Towers are definitely cool, but there are towers that look better...try not to sacrifice too much in the area of rigidness though.

New Dimensions Tower is not OEM. The owner of New Dimensions used to be a part owner of Xtreme Marine which has been renamed Xtreme Tower Products.

XTP is the world's largest tower manufacturer and has made more than 45,000 towers.

XTP is currently OEM on Mastercraft, Supra, Moomba, Tige, Malibu (select models), plus about 20 makes of run-about boats. New Dimensions is not OEM for any make of boat. They have basically copied the older XTP OEM designs.

XTP has now made the actual Mastercraft Zero Flex OEM tower available to the aftermarket. Wakeside.com discontinued New Dimension Towers and now offers XTP OEM towers in its place.

Below is a link to the Mastercraft OEM tower.
