New 2009 options are here!

OH...AND...it looks like they have tower speakers mounted above AND below the bimini (two on top, and two on the "sides" of the tower.

[OKWAKEBDR]

Are they putting wakeboard (or wakesurf board) storage on top of the bimini? It looks like there is a wakeboard on top of the bimini in pic594191

Trying to figure out if that is a 210 or 220 - if it is a 220, it looks like they "fixed" the rear seating arrangement.

my guess is a 210. it appears to be the removeable lean backs. i wish they would fix my new 230's interior and make it like my old 220's interior. i hated it before i owned one, now it is the bench mark for functionality in my book---even more so than the 230.

Still not on board...I think it looks ugly....

Looks like a flip-down mirror to me.

Hi, I would like to start by introducing myself- My name is Marc and I have been one of the people here at Roswell involved with the Nautique tower project since the beginning.

I have been checking in on this thread and felt it may be time to share some info on the tower project as well as post up some pictures we have to give this project a possibly different light. I value differing opinions and understand that everyone is going to have their own point of view. I am available to speak to anyones questions regarding the tower project on this thread or directly at marc@roswellwakeair.com.

Admittedly the pictures I am posting are not professionally done but I feel these showcase the tower from some different views and may give those who have not seen it in person a better idea of what the tower looks like.

[Roswellwakeair]

The pictures accompanying this post are from the initial prototype tower we developed for the 220. We ran this tower throughout last year and I wanted to include some of these pictures- You will see the initial prototype visually has different board racks and speakers as well as a host of other changes we made throughout the process...

The more I look at it the more it grows on me. Not bad!

[Laketexoma]

All I can say it I'm GLAD I bought a 08 with the titan 3 on it. I guess I'm to old or it looks way to much like a malibu tower.

I think it looks ok on the 210 with the bimini, but i am not thrilled with it. It definitely looks better with the bimini than without. The good news is that CC will probably still offer the previous towers, and we can always order without a tower and get our own. Thinking back, i didnt like the 1st gen FCT, or the 2000 2nd gen FCT at first either. Of course i like them now so maybe this one will grow on me, but i am skeptical.

The more I look at it, the more my initial negative reactions are confirmed. To me the lines appear "confused" and there is no balance, proportion or scale to the water craft. My hope is that other options will be available. As others said before, it does not relate to the lines of the boat -- and it is actually kind of distracting. It doesn't appeal to me and it would actually send me out of the showroom if that's all they offered or had available.

I'm sure the function is great, but it not only looks like somebody tried to make a Nautique look like a flashed-up Malibu, it looks like if you are in the boat, that tower is all you'd see looking rearward. It looks huge on the sides, ugly, obtrusive, and NOT Nautique. Sorry to rain on your project, but for me, a traditional boat buyer (read average Nautique customer), it is awful looking. I'm sure the 20 something wakeboard crowd will love it though.Unfortunately, not too many of them have 65k to spend on a new boat.

[lffish133]

The 09 looks like a mix between the 08 CC steeze and the new Malibu crap. Looks like my worst fears have come true, everyone sells out eventually. Thank goodness there are still options for other paint jobs and towers. But I'm sure they will sell more boats now.

[adams93]

In my oppinion , i agree with the majority of every one i do not like the tower ...........the titan looks a 200% better


I think if it swooped back NOT forward like the malibu's it would be more streem line with the boat ...it would be more nautique to me!

Towers dont have to be crazy and radical to attract people I Think this tower stinks malibu not CC

[saceone]

it looks bitchin' on the 210 (maybe it's the color scheme that fits well with the chrome)

thanks for the pictures Mark, it's great to see that this community's opinion is important for rosswell.
