aftermarket tower for mc 197

[rodltg2]

here is a pic of a tower built by a local company on a 197. it think it looks really good. i am going to find out if it is available in brushed.

Do you have any idea what the cost was??? :popcorn:

[rodltg2]

i think its about 2200. considerably less than the zero flex. the website is www.wakeair.com. as soon as i can sell my old boat im going to purchase either this tower or a bullet tower. i will post pics after i install it..

Seems sort of hight for a powder coated tower........my dealer said I could get a Zero flex for under that price.

[rodltg2]

my dealer wants 3100 for zeroflex, that is why i chose to buy the boat with out one, plus i didnt want to finance the tower as well. if i can get a zeroflex for the same i will , where is your dealer?

Basically I arranged to get a tower, at cost, if I decided to do it. :wavey:

[rodltg2]

i see, my dealer wasnt makin any more deals , i already got a great price on the boat. no more room for negociating. your right though it does seem high for a powder coat . im going to try and work a deal now since they are probably slow this time of year.

[rodltg2]

finally made my decision and went with a new dimension tower which is a zero flex copy. it should be here in about 3 weeks, will post pics then....

Do you have a link to their site?? :popcorn:

I just bought a tower from New Dimension as well for my 1995 ProStar 190. Expensive, but well worth it. I will try to remember to post pics once it is installed in about two weeks.

the tower will help you improve , plus add room for speakers, racks etc.
not to mention if and when you decide to sell the boat will make it easier. i hardly wakeboard , recentley became a course addict. my friends do and its so much nicer to keep the rope out of the way and not deal with setting up a pole.

I had a Monster Tower put on mine. I like it.

[rodltg2]

Rod, will you install the tower yourself?
I'm concerned about how the towers mount onto the deck and since my new boat will be virtually the same as yours, what are your plans for reinforcement for the mounting points of the tower?

[rodltg2]

yes i will be installing it myself. i was informed my the tower builder that mastercraft has installed backing plates where the tower will be mounted. so if you use a zeroflex or new dimension tower the mounts should match up. i have now confirmed this by looking or asking my dealer.

just sent you pm

I think New Dimension is the company that makes the Zero Flex for MC. If it's a copy of the ZeroFlex it will be exact, minus the stickers. New Dimension and MC are about 20-30 minutes from each other.

Rod, Good move on the tower, much better than the 1st one you posted. yuk! I got my zeroflex for $2400. Called several dealers and found a leftover. Install is easy. Good luck!

No rattles at all. Although I had to finish the install myself because the dealer I took it to screwed up the installation
