Monster Tower

Gatto Nero · 04-14-2006, 01:17 PM

I've been looking into getting an aftermarket wakeboard tower for my 1999 Four Winns Horizon 240 for a while now. I ran across someone on the lake last year that had a similar boat and had purchased a Monster Tower. They seemed pretty happy with it so I did some research. It appears, from my limited knowledge of wakeboard towers, to be a good tower at a good price. Before I attach something like that to my boat, however, I figured I'd check if anyone on this forum has had experience with this, or any other brand of tower that they wouldn't mind sharing.

Here is the link to Monster Tower http://www.monstertower.com/.

Thanks

We've got a '26 Formula and purchased a "Quad Pod". At least, I think that's the name of it. It works very well and putting it up and taking it down isn't TOO bad.

I'm sure you realize not all boat decks were engineered with the stress of a tower in mind. Might not be a bad idea to talk to FourWinns or your local dealer about the possibilities and perhaps any additional bracing that may be required.
Just a thought

I looked into this for a while for my boat. I wasn't too fond of Monster because of the lines and how it would look on my boat. There are quite a few good tower mfrs out there, so make sure you do your research and get the features you want! I STRONGLY suggest reinforcing the mounts of a tower. The pull on a tower is amazing and most tube Mfrs don't recommend pulling from a tower due to the stress of pulling tubes.
Good luck,

I found the bracing and supports quite beefy on the Quad Pod. When my son is wakeboarding, the unit moves very little, if at all.

Another choice is a company called Air Boom. They make wakeboarding towers. There is a gallery that shows their products on various boats, including Four Winns.
