Enjoy It!

The tower is made by Metcraft- I believe they call it the Evolution Tower. They're not quite in production yet. I have a prototype. I get to keep it until the final tower comes in.

It'll be the same, with the exception that the production tower will have a couple more hinges to let it fold. The one that's on the boat right now does not fold.

The tower is incredibly solid, there's absolutely no comparison to the old Metcraft I used to have on my 2003 22v.

You're right. For what I hear, the dealer in Vegas and the one here in St. Louis have made the most orders for these towers, so I'm not surprised that you saw it at the boat show. (I am assuming that you saw it on a Tige).

Here's a better angle.

Great looking Boat......That tower is really cool

[poohpotta]

Sweet boat, love the tower and paint scheme. How do you like the dealer in St. Louis? How is his turn-around time on servicing your boat?

[rushin]

looks great! The tower looks low. Maybe it is just the style.

[smendez]

Thanks to all for the compliments. I'm so stocked about this boat, I can't even go to work. Tomorrow is my first day back to work since we took delivery last Friday. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it.

I can't wait to take it to Table Rock. We'll be there the week before July 4th and then again the 2nd week of August. Maybe I can help you take care of that teak swim platform and down some beer

poohpotta:
The dealer here in St. Louis - Stateamind Watersports - redefines customer service. Joel and his crew bend over backwards for us. Turn around time has never been an issue for me, probably because I know how busy they are so I cut them some slack. When the boat needs servicing, I usually drop it off at their yard on Sunday night and pick it up on Thursday or Friday afternoon. I usually boat during the weekdays in the evening, so it does cut into my boating time, but it's not that often that this happens.

rushin:
The tower seemed about the same height, maybe it's the angle of the picture. I'll measure it and post the height on this thread. I won't be back to the marina until Thursday or Friday though. The water went up 1 degree today. It's all the way up to 58.

That tower is nice. Is the black back support similar to the Illusion tower? I really like it.

Matt:

It's very much like it. I heard Metcraft builds the towers for Malibu , so now you begin to see the similarities appear

[Matt Garcia]

Yep, thats the same company thats why I asked. Metcraft has really stepped it up over the last few years.

[Ruune]

thats awesome lookin'! One question tho- how did you get hooked up w/ an '06 tower?
