Default Wakeboard/Fishing Tower for Aluminum Boat

Does anyone have a recommendation on a source for a wakeboard/fishing tower for a 20' Custom Weld boat. I have done some searching on-line and it looks like I am going to have to pay around 2K to get something that looks decent. Seems like alot for pipes welded together. Anyone have any sources for reasonably priced towers that don't look like crap.

Barewest looks great when viewed from the side. It is also hell bent strong.

But if I were to do it again would go with one of the custom type all around duel purpose towers like I have seen here. It does not follow my canvas well and bugs me for the 2K I have into it.



Side View



Rear View



Front View.

It works really good though. Mounting was not hard.

Look up Wetfly on the Salty Dogs he is a sponsor and he builds these custom to order I believe. Do a search and he has some pictures posted.

Check out atlantictowers

Tower in a box!


Not bad prices for quality. I think salmonquest bought one of their towers.

Have a great day.

I have been doing some on-line searching and found a source I am leaning towards (i.e., tricktowers). They are located in Texas. The solid custom tower (welded aluminum) is 1K plus $250 for shipping. I am also going to pay an extra $100 for them to shorten the frame so there is only a 3-4 inch gap between the top of my canopy and bottom of the pipe. No going to paint it just go with the aluminum. $1350 is alot better than 2K.
