Tower for Maristar

[jjcookie]

I have a 2000 Maristar 210vrs and have an opportunity to buy a used Zeroflex Flyer tower. Only problem is I can not get any information from anyone on whether it will fit. It is 61.5" across the front from the centre of the posts and 80.5 across the rear from the inside of the angled brackets. It is 33.5" from front to back.
This is an old style zeroflex tower but it may have fit on an old x-star or prostar.
Can anyone give me some guidance??

Thanks

I'll have to go measure the tower on my boat, and let you know what I find out. I have a '99 version of your boat, for all practical purposes they are identical. Check out the thread below about zeroflex not being zero-flex.

Thanks, Ill look for your measurements. Speaking of Zero-Flex, so you find that same problem? Would you buy a different tower now in hindsight? I just hate the thought of spending $4000. on a tower.

I measured my tower last night. The front width (between the mounting bolts) was approximately 69-1/2 inches. The rear width, measured between the tower mounting surfaces was approximately 87 inches. The front-to-back measurement between the mounting bolts is approximately 83 inches.

I would still buy the xeroflex flyer tower. It looks "just-right" on the boat in my opinion. And with the backing plates I installed the side-to-side movement has been reduced by about 75%.

I have seen several maristars with zero flexes on them. The look totally sweet, and I think you won't be disappointed!
