    Watertoys towers

    I have a friend looking for a tower and he asked me about these. I've never heard of them but, the price on them is dirt cheap and they are pretty nice looking. Anybody know anything about them?

    Never heard of it but it just made my list for the winter upgrade. Under $1000 including shipping for a good looking tower like that. I would love to hear from anyone that has installed one of these....

      Whoa. Take a close look at those joints. Remind you of anything? Looks like they've borrowed some ideas from Metcrap

        They are similar to the 2003-2005 metcraft, not the earlier version that was REALLY crappy. I would not be afraid of it.

        My 05 held up great.

          What do you think of this surf/wakeboard combo rack? Price seems low but usually there is a issue with something this low priced...

            The only concern I have is tubing diameter. But at the promo price it looks like a heck of a deal.

            Has some design characteristics of horizontal support like Tige's e-series and others. I would like to see more supportdetween the vertical pieces about half way up to add stability and strength.

              They look pretty good to me. You'd still need to add the cost of a bimini. Not sure if they offer that.

                  There's a few elements that remind me of BOSS towers. They had some really good fabricators there but, a complete douche for an owner which is why they went out of business.

                  I think for the price it's not a bad tower. The price is more than likely a result of the economy. I can't imagine any tower manufacturer is enjoying a ton of success these days. Survival is the new success right?

                      There doesn't look to be too much lateral support. I'd bet you'll get some wobble with it. I've never sen those though in person, just basing that on the similarity to my Metcraft tower.

                        This is my guess on why such a low price, We built and sold rhino doors then found them to make them for us. We could not buy the aluminum for what a finished door cost us.

                          Not sure if this would work!

                            Wow, nice work Gizmo. That would explain the price alright.
