WakeBoard Tower broke

[bhamcarnut]

The factory Wakeboard tower on my 99 Pro Air broke over the weekend. It broke on the bung where the side sections connect to the center section. I'm trying to figure out if I should try to get it repaired or look at new towers. Anyone have advice? Thanks!!!!

Sometimes they can be fixed, sometimes it's not safe or worth to fix.
Pictures would help us see how bad it is if you could post a few

If it is the early tower (see below), then it is not worth repairing. Find yourself a FCT1 Gen2 or a New Dimensions tower. You will need to drill new mounting holes if you go Gen2 or ND.



BELOW is the FCT1 Gen2



NEW DIMENSIONS TOWER

Thank you so much for the info. It’s a FCT g1. Does anyone have experience with Aerial towers? I love the looks of the airborn.

Don’t do it! New dimensions is the way to go

Agreed, do yourself a favor and go new demensions you'll be glad you did in the end.

Get the one you like, you'll be glad in the end.

Every Aerial I've seen shakes and rattles - no thanks. If you don't want to go the New Dimensions route, I'd look into the Roswell Aviator. Otherwise Samson is another custom shop that makes rock solid towers - crowned top edge or a blade would look decent on a nautique.

Thanks for all of the input! I am trying to figure out the ones I like best now.

If you're going for the 2nd generation of the FCT; they're also often called FCT2. In case you'd go search for one.
Finding a used one or New Dimensions is most definitely what I would do, by the way.

Well after intense searches, lots of emailing, and great input I decided to go with the Roswell Cam RT with a Bimini. Found a steal of a price on one and couldn't pass it up. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I feel it will give it a newer look. I will post pictures as soon as I get it in! Thank you so much for all of your input!

Cant go wrong with a Roswell tower. I went with with the Aviator on my 2000 SuperSport. Very sturdy and looks like a factory tower. I like the Cam RT also. The only complaint I have is with my Bimini top. The way it mounts on the Aviator is flimsy. Hopefully the Cam RT has a different setup.

[bhamcarnut]

Hmmmm. Not sure. It looks like the Cam RT doesn’t use the loops in the back so hopefully that helps. Thanks for the feedback! I haven’t seen anything negative about their towers. I cant wait to get it in!

Dam little late on the reply. Don't do the Ariel. It's garbage and every one I have seen up close is not solid.

Good call on the Roswell. Personally outside of the Nee Dimensiins, The Roswell Aviator takes the cake. I here seen a few on SANTE's and sports . They flow very well with the old squared off lines.

The new Roswell Tower arrived today! Early birthday present to myself!!!!!
