So I currently have the MetCRAP tower on my boat and have been looking to replace it. I have seen these towers on a couple boats on here and really like them but I don't know what kind of tower they are. I'm hoping that someone on here can lead me in the right direction to get one.

That was the Phat Budde. I'm pretty sure it's out of production.You'll get your chance, smart guy. -
Samson has a real similar tower. On the expensive side of towers though.I'd rather be a conservative nut job than a liberal with no nuts and no job.Comment

Samson is one of the easiest towers to fold

Nickypoo is right. Phat Budde tower, but unfortunately, out of business years ago.
Here is a link to Samson towers as mentioned by rostap.

It is also pretty easy to put back up even with speakers. I just have two Pro60's but hung for fun another set and you had to push a bit more but still a one man operation. You don't have to fight the vertical supports once you have raised the tower they just ease into position.Originally posted by chpthril View PostSamson is one of the easiest towers to fold
It is expensive as heck though. My Razor with Wake rack and ski rack including 4 tower lights and all wiring pulled was over $4k. Thank goodness for insurance. If they didn't cover I would have done some shopping but Ragboy's review of his Samson tower on his 24VE convinced me to go with the Razor.
Only improvements would be to make the bimini it a little longer and the snap in support couplings for rear need to have something they snap into when folded so they don't rattle you to death. I have tried Velcro but it slips off and I have tried trojans which work but are not really what you want hanging on boat. I will see if balloons work but they would be a pain in arse constantly replacing them.
If I ever ordered a new boat I would have dealer order a Sampson and not the factory tower when Alpha Z is not available on non RZ or Z models.
DOes anyone know list price on Alpha Z?Comment

I don't know, but I was told by my dealer that you can not put an Alpha Z tower on any Tige pre-2009 because of the way it connects to the boat, and obviously it would have to be an RZ, Ve or Z1. I found an '08 six months ago that was still new, had the freeride graphics added, in the color scheme I wanted and was wanting it bad considering the price. The only thing I couldn't get was the Alpha Z, and it was a deal breaker.Originally posted by MoneyPity View PostComment

Phat body Extreme tower, same as on my boat.Tige, it's a way of life!Comment

On my price quote from 2 years ago, MSRP for the Alpha Z was shown as $4100+. Final price was shown as $3600+. As part of a new boat build.Originally posted by MoneyPity View PostComment

I thought the Alpha Z if you were to order seperately and not at the time of a boat purchase was somewhere around $7K.Being a major OU fan and a staunch conservative.... I am perpetually vexed w/ the conundrum of who to hate more. Obama or the Univ. of Saxet.Comment

My Razor was a pita to get back up until I corrected the mistakes my dealer made. Now is okay.Originally posted by chpthril View PostHumm, I think that was kinda implied

$3K for Alpha sound cheap compared to Samson
