When you are ready to outfit your boat for wakeboarding, you’ll want to start by choosing a wakeboard tower, and you’ll want to make sure you pick the right one. The tower should fit your boat properly, match up with what you want to do out on the water, and of course it should fit into your budget.
At Monster Tower, we are committed to providing a quality tower for any budget. All of our towers feature industry-leading 2.5 inch diameter 6061 aluminum tubing, which provides superior corrosion resistance. The cross section on all of our towers are hand welded for durability and strength. They also feature swivel tow points for maximum maneuverability of your tow rope, as well as the ability to fold down without tools for storage or so you can travel under low clearances at a moment’s notice. Now, we want to break down the various levels of towers so you can decide what kind of tower fits in your budget.
To help you find the tower that’s right for you boat and you budget, we’ve broken our towers down into three categories:
-
Entry Level Tower
An entry level tower is a great starting point if you are just getting into wakeboarding, kneeboarding, or any other water sport requiring a tower. Usually, these towers are cage style with four mounting points on your boat. They are traditional-style towers with a simple shape with straight legs. Entry level Monster Towers are available in a single finish, and they are the most economical out of all towers. For those looking to add an entry level tower to their boat we recommend the MTE.
-
Mid-Level Tower
A mid-level tower offers a balanced compromise between budget and style. The look is more stylized than an entry level; the legs on the mid-level tower have more of a curve giving the tower a more modern look while maintaining a traditional design. There are also more finishes available for a mid-level Monster Tower instead of just one like on an entry level. If you’re in the market for a mid-level wakeboard tower we recommend checking out our MT1 and MT2.
-
Premium Tower
Compared to an entry or mid-level tower, a premium wakeboard tower has the most options available. These towers have more of a modern, stylish look. They are forward-facing and have two mounting points on the boat, which are located behind the driver. Unlike a cage-style tower, premium towers offer unobstructed views. Premium Monster Towers also have the most variety when it comes to finishes so you can perfectly match your boat. We recommend the MTK for those looking to add a top-of-the-line, premium tower to their boat.
