Looking for a new tower...

No clue what it costs - I'm sure it ain't cheap. Personally, I think it's pretty cool.

It Is pretty cool - I guess they have a remote to raise & lower? I didn't see anyone in the boat....

I could make mine do that with some of the stuff in our maintence shed - but then it would be hydralic - and boy would a busted line foul up a boat interior.... :D

That would be an awesome tower!!!!!!Its about time someone came up with it. Any idea what's on the top of it, is it for a camera? I will guess the MSRP is around 5K.:(

I don't know if that is a good idea. You are increasing the torque arm length on your tower and therefore putting a lot more pressure on the whole structure. That is going to eat up any safety margin the manf. put in the tower/boat.

Kind of like putting a helper bar on a wrench. Putting the same pressure on a longer torque arm can break things.

I think BigMac was directing us to the automatic retractable tower. It is air operated via a remote switch. Pretty cool idea, but I wonder what the mean time between failure is??? :eek3:

Looked interesting. I'd guess there is significant bounce on the water.
