zft5

I had the ZFT5P on my last 2 boats. To be honest, I had issues with both. Now I have the ZFT3 4 point tower and love it.

If I bought a new boat, it would definately be the ZFT4 for sure.

I have the power tower on my 2012 x45. I think it is the best looking tower in the MC line up and is very sturdy. It's wasn't a 10k option when we bought the boat but I would still be temped to get it on any new boat. I have never had any problems with the tower at all before and after the retro fit.

As far as the cans, I would go with wet sounds. The JLs in the can aren't that loud. So my dealer ordered the boat with a pair of speakers and swapped it won't for two pairs of wet sounds which are great.

Ya its nice to have as an option, but the dealers never order them anymore, i hardly see any. it seems like if you want it that bad you need to get it ordered in.

Same here... probably mostly to do with costs.

I know MC added corner braces to the PW but I cant comment on how affective they are, but prior to the braces, I was always concerned about the side to side sway. The tower flexed a lot. Not sure if the movement had anything to do with it but last year one of my speakers broke off and fell while I was on the highway heading to the lake. See more here:

yaa i remember that thread. one of the first ones i saw i think. I'm also glad the zft2 is gone, that tower was ugly, even though we almost ended up with one.

I was surprised to find, that with braces, the tower doesn't move AT ALL. It is the ONLY tower, that I have ever had, that doesn't move, or make noise, on a rough lake. They really should have built it this way to begin with.
