I like the current style oem towers. Does anyone know of anybody who is making them to fit older sunsports. I have an '87.

Yep you're gonna want to go with New Dimension for the closest to OEM there is. Definitely a great look. Rustey lets see your 87 SunSport I have the same model!!!! I went with Monster Tower since I need it to collapse totally flat.

Thanks, I watched the price drop from $1500.00 down to $699.00 this winter and couldnt resist. If you find one that you like and can wait untill winter you will save a bunch. I also looked at the new dimention tower and kinda like the rounded look a little better. Here is the link to the site,plus I purchase the mirror and a rack to at a good price. http://www.h2osportswarehouse.com/aerial-wakeboarding-boat-towers-s/5.htm

86supraproject -- I'm digging those trailer wheels. You guys have me really jonesing for a tower upgrade. Just not in the budget this year and even though my tower looks (slightly) ridiculous.... I love how much space there is under it. I've got speakers and a bimini and NEVER have to worry about banging my head. It's also completely overbuilt.

Thanks, you wont belive the story behind those wheels. A guy that owns a tire store here locally won his boat on the price is right and purchased those wheels for the traile and they wouldnt fit because of the bearing buddies. I purchased them from him for$100.00 and used a hole saw on the centers so my bearing buddies would fit. Hes kinda sick after seeing what they look like. You cant tell they arent made for the trailer but the offset is in the wrong direction but thats ok with me.

86sp - I would never have noticed the offset unless you told me! ;p Really looks awesome I would love to see about a hundred more!

Woton - I have been noticing that my Monster isn't quite as tall as a New Dimension or your tower. It certainly is nice that no one has to watch their head when climbing through the bow! Also, if you are looking for increased hangtime from a tower, a higher towpoint is always better. I guess you could say it also makes the boat easier for the rider to tip and pull around.

I have pics of my Monster in my profile gallery :)
