Alpha Z tower on older tige

[lohe]

$8k goes a long way toward a decent down payment of a new boat.....

Totally agree if it would be 2-3K even 4 I would still consider it.

you should check out a aerial freedride tower!!

look under the tower.... these are the legs you'll be dealing with. Not really that big of deal. Just expoxy them in, then fiberglass over them.

I don't think I'd have THAT much room under my rail to go that far forward. It would hit the windshiled mounting screws. That long in front looks like WAY overkill anyhow.

It can be done, no doubt. Just comes down to $$$$$$$$$. Money gets ANYTHING done--wanna go to the moon? You can buy a ride there....

[Tanner]

Keep in mind you gotta mount the tower alot further back than the factory tower legs. So you should have room. In addition Tige has aluminum fiberglassed in under their factory tower.... you could cut the legs off and then laminate the bracing into the factory backing w/ some epoxy and another piece of metal on top tying the 2 together.

Anyone try this yet? ( I know old thread)

[NICKYPOO]

Not that we know of.

Even IF you could get Tige to sell you a tower (which I doubt) It's hard to justify the cost of the tower, new windshield and the fiberglass mods that would be required.

It has been done. There was a 2007 RZ2 that is in my area that has one. But it was supposedly Charlie Pigeon's personal boat, and the tower was done at the factory. There is another thread about this somewhere.

I can't see any pics. Looks like an old for sale ad. So the 4k or so he paid included changing of the windshield like you guys are saying it will need?
