    Roswell or Titan tower?

    If you were looking to buy a 2009 super air, which tower would you order it with?

      Titan all the way! Easy to fold down and has a clearance height of 7'. Also, it will be much easier IMO to add aftermarket accessories to the tower...and it looks MUCH better! The roswell is easy to fold as well but I hate the look of it and once folded it has a clearance of around 8.5'.

        FCT-1

        Neither, I would still order the FCT -1 which I did on a 2009 and had on my 2005 and 2008 210. I personally like the traditional look. That might change some day.

          Roswell, no question. Tired of noisy towers that rattle on a $70K+ wake boat.

            Titan for two reasons: SUPER easy to fold and a Tower mounted mirror is a MUST!

              Thanks for all the opinions. Im just worried what resale would be like on a 09 210 in a year from now with the roswell. My theory is some will like the roswell, but everyone will like the titan. Would hate for people to turn away from my boat over a tower.

              slipnslide- thanks for the height on the tower!

                No problem. Keep in the mind the 7' clearance would be for a 210. It would also depend on the trailer as well. I'm sure the 220 and 230 would be higher.

                      Roswell, since i just got my 09 230 with one on it. Keep in mind pictures do not do it justice, IMO.

                        I vote for the FCT also...so long as you never need to fold it down! I like the classic design and it is a little higher than the Titan for more head room. Don't care for the Malibu-like looking Roswell tower.

                          I am going to order Titan, I think it's the best looking tower and also it's the only tower that I can fold low enough to get into my 8' garage door on a 230

                            Titan all the way, its super light-weight and very solid. Polished stainless steel will never go out of style.

                              I had the opportunity to ride in a 230 Team this past weekend with the new Roswell tower and look at it up close. I just don't see it. Though its built well, there are just some things missed. For one, the board racks are way too far back "past the tow point". There's small issues enough with the current tower with ropes getting caught on boards in a tight turn when picking up a boarder, this thing is a nightmare. They should have at a minimum put the board racks further forward. Secondly it just doesn't look that great on such a large boat.

                              Not trying to knock Roswell, but this thing gave me as many concerns seeing it up close as it did from pictures.
