I started wakeboarding a few summers ago, im just starting to do basic stuff. my parents have a 04 Glastron Sx 175 its a 3.0 135hp and i was looking into putting a tower on it. Is it even worth putting a tower on this boat? All i do is wakeboard and tube on it. I saw diywake on a thread and the Large Polished Universal Swoop Tower. Any other good towers that are under 1k? The main question is it even worth putting a tower on this boat? My dad says no but i say yes so i just want to do it anyways cuz ill be takin over payments. thanks

My buddy has a monster tower on his...it works well for an I/O. He also puts a 350LB ballast in the ski locker. If you are going to have that boat for a while, then it is worth putting a tower on. I have a Joystick tower on my I/O. $750

How is the quality of the joystick? Does it work good for you? do you have any pics?

It is very solid, but no frills for sure... I've had it three seasons now, and like it just fine.

Louis,
We have a Glastron GX 185 with a WakeAir tower and it makes a difference in your jump height and of course makes your boat look pretty damn cool! (You decide which is more important.

)

Unfortunately, WakeAir towers are not under $1000....

We just installed a Monster Tower on our 06 205. It looks great but unfortunatly the water temp is still 50 degrees! Will post after I have ridden it.
