Looking for a FCT 3, 4 or 5 tower

[AndrewC]

Hi all,

I have a 2007 SAN 220 and want to do away with the 4 legged traditional tower that came on the boat from new. Does any one know where I can get a new or good used tower from? Also, how much should I expect to pay?

I don't want any racks because we have skyski racks and i don't need a bimini either as my work can easily make one.

Cheers

you can purchase this tower from your local CC dealer or direct from us Roswell Wake Air. This would be for the FCT3 or FCT5 tower(two point).

I have a 2007 SAN 220 also and would really like to update the look with a new tower. I was thinking the Arial Wakeboarding Freerider tower may offer a more contemporary look http://www.aerialwakeboarding.com/Articles.asp?ID=199 . Anyone out there have any experience/thoughts on this tower? I think it would really update the look of the 220.

IMHO that tower looks poo tvaleri,

Why not copy what gasman87 did with his 220 make over / G22?

Now that I've seen the thread, I agree with you too! In case any of you missed it, the thread can be found here: http://www.planetnautique.com/vb3/sh....php?25813-G22

Does anyone have an idea of what tower he went with? It looks very up-to-date.

We have done 2 fct 3 retrofits in the past 6 months. They all turned out looking awesome. We paint the towers in house so we could chose a color if that were a concern.

Indianapolis is a long haul from California, so I'd need to have my local CC do the work. Zach, can you give me a ballpark cost for budgetary purposes?

[Zach@n3]

I just meant to supply tower if you couldn't find one locally. When we go through Roswell (Terry above) The tower retails roughly for around 2500-3000. I don't know the labor off the top of my head.

[Zach@n3]

Paint will add to cost.

[Zach@n3]

Fyi, we just purchased all remaining FCT3s Roswell had.

I bought an Aerial, not much impressed with quality or the service. When I called about a small few issues I was having, it seemed like the customer service people were annoyed that anyone would call and ask questions. I had to order a new part that broke, and I knew more about which part it was than they did.

The Roswell FCT3 was a retrofit on my 09 and it is solid and looks great. Put cupholders where the front legs mounted on your 4 post tower.

Any pictures? Maybe of the installation too?

[RideButter]

No pictures of the install, but the fct3 came pre-wired so it was a drop on and bolt through.

That looks very nice - did they put a stress plate under the fiber glass for extra support?
