    Help! Need someone to help me correctly identify my tower on a 2013 SANTE!!!

    I recently purchased a 2013 SANTE 230. Trying to find a bimini for this boat BUT one dealer says its a FCT5 the other says its not that but it is a Diamondback tower. I realize that Diamondback may have fabricated this but is that the same as a FCT5? One dealer says no and the other says yes. I need some clarification! A picture is attached.

    BTW, anyone see or have any custom bimini ideas for this boat or has that thread already been beat to death?

    Thanks.

    I don't know what it's called, but it's the factory tower for 2013. I would highly recommend the factory Bimini. Worth every penny if you ask me. Takes about 30 seconds to open up and about two minutes to put away and that includes putting the boot on it.

      It's the diamondback tower--not the FCT5.

        Thanks a lot to both of you!!!! I really like the factory bimini. One dealer said he would order the one for the FCT5 the other said DB. I'm going Diamondback!!!!

            Went full custom and happy that with the result. Boat lives in AZ and I'm part ginger... Shade takes priority over everything when its 120° + out. I have a garage with 14' doors on both ends so I never put my tower down... At 5'10 I can stand up, have wetsounds 8's and have shade from the windshield to the back seats. Very pleased. FYI do have to pay attention to the rope when wakesurfing or tow off the back 'cause of the shorter line.
