I'm looking at different towers for my '86 Comp and have only one question: What size am I looking for? Are they all universal or boat specific? I'd like to measure so I know exactly; however, I'm not entirely sure where to measure to/from.

Any help would be appreciated.

I bought a big air h2o universal, they asked for two width measurements but I don't think they were even necessary. My comp is an '86 as well.

Here is my tower

I measured at the points you see there and I believe the rear was 77" and the front was 71".

Here is another pic.

Tower works great, it recommends not pulling two people, but I did it once anyway and it handled it perfectly fine.

Looks great! I am mainly trying to see where I need to be measuring from. Anyone have experience with the collousus tower by wake design?

My measurements were made from the center white line on my boat, straight across.

The area of the boatwhere the measurements come from just matter on where you want your tower. I wanted my pylon to match the top of the tower, Also I wanted to use the stock speaker holes under the gunwale to gain access to the backing plates for the hull.

The front leg on my tower is 46" from the rear.

That's exactly the information that I needed! Thanks Dtha!
