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

I've had them all on the 210 and the 11-12 version has been my favorite by far. Looks like they changed it up again for 13 though.

The FCT-2 Titan is a nice tower and looks great...but it sways a lot. Anyone that says otherwise would be lying. I always had to make sure the allen bolts were tight.

Come on. Nobody with a Titan able measure this for me?

Ok some approx measurements between tower feet centres.
Across the front 73.23"
Across the rear 88.98"
Between front and rear feet 73.82"
I have a Byerly mooring cover which is a pefect fit to my tower so guessing dimensions are the same or pretty close to your tower?

Not my experience with the titan, but do agree the allen bolts are prone to vibrating loose.

Hey thanks much! Those are some pretty precise measurements! I'll post mine up when I get back into town on thurs. But from what I remember my front to back between feet was about 74inch also. Did you measure from center of feet or edge to edge?

Nordicron, measured from center of feet.

The titan towers are a train wreck in my opinion. I had two of them (230 and 220) and I was constantly cleaning finger prints off of it while on the water and bug guts after towing. Both towers kept blowing out the white cupped gasket and this caused it to squeak badly and be really loose. It was easier to fold than the FCT1 but I do not like the way it sat in the boat. It was very difficult to do anything in the boat once it was down. I had a 210 and a 230 with the FCT3 and loved them. They foded easily with no tools, looked good, and were extremely rigid. I liked having a painted tower too. This tower offered rigged mouning points for board racks too and way cool rotating speakers. I LOVED THIS TOWER!
