    '07-'10 best towers for 210 & 230s?

    So what's the consensus, if there is one, on the best tower for either the 210 or 230 in the '07-'10 range?

    I'm most partial to an ultra solid, non squeaky/rattley tower, and would give less preference to folding down if there would be a trade off.

    Cheers,

    Ok...little story. I basically trolled this site for 2 years. Finally got a 2008 sante 210 that i could afford. Kind if wished at the time that it was NOT the tower that came with the boat. Because I knew it would be heavy, but thought I would figure out some way to get it up and down.

    I studied, I looked, I read posts. I ended up pulling the boat lift back out of the water paid about $400 for longer canopy legs and raised it up so as to not have to put tower up and down.

    Final analysis...The tower is a wee bit dated, just my opinion. But the **** thing is very solid. To be completely honest we actually climb up side of boat onto tower and jump off. Our feet our on the side wide bar you see in the pic and sit on flat piece on either side of top. I did put a weight limit on our "tower jumps" of 200 lbs.

      I have the same tower as scott and yes it is very solid but is also a pain in the **** to fold over being its awkward and heavy. But it is great to strap extra boards too or kneeboards for the kids. I would have preferred the spilt stainless tower option not sure what that one was but got a great deal on this one.

        I have the Titan tower and like it more than any other 4-leg tower I've had or used. It's solid and folds easily with one person (when I had four large Wetsounds speakers on the tower, I could still fold it by myself though it was some effort. With one pair Rev10s on the tower, it's pretty easy). It also folds low enough to fit in a 7' garage. The downside: it looks old-school...which I like. But you might want a more modern two-leg look.

                  I like the titan tower on my 08 210 super easy to lower and rock solid . The only issue is its a little low you have to watch out when you get in .

                          I'm out of town or I'd do it...but Titan is no longer around (bought by Malibu, meshed with their operations) so I'm not sure if measurements will do you any good if you're thinking you'll buy a Titan to put on your boat.

                              Thanks much. I know that Titan was sold to Bu but if this Titan tower would be a fairly easy bolt up it might be worth alittle research in trying to find one to retro fit. Thanks
