Who makes the towers

[Engloid]

Sparky...hope I didn't come across harshly with my post. I understand that, in the end, customers want hassle-free...and it appears that's what you got. The small details are more the responsibility of dealers and manufacturers. Enjoying the product is the job of the consumer.

I have verified the specific towers that are made by XTP.

They are:
RZ2
22VE
24VE

Although they look very similar, dimensions and angles are different.

You can get a Z tower on any of those 3 models. The z tower has a big XTP sticker on it. For warranty reasons it says "Do Not Remove" There is no XTP sticker on the E towers.

Honda makes an Accord, it comes in a 4 dr and a 2dr. Thier lines are differant but they are both Accords, both made by Honda!

Lets recap and put this thread to bed!

XTP makes the Z tower for Tige, The RZ2, 24Ve and the 22Ve all have differant lines/demensions, therefore the towers will have differant demensions in order to fit these "similar" boats made by Tige, but they are all "Z" towers, not three differant towers.

The E tower made by Tige will be the same way. You have to make minor adjustments to the "mold" to make the same tower fit differant boats.

Just my $.02 worth.

You beat me to it. I was going to use the Levi's 501 jeans. One model 501 in various length and waist options. Still 1 model jeans not infinate models based on length and waist.

Back to Z tower. One model Z tower with different dimensions to fit 3 different boats.

Technically it is a matter of semantics, yes they make 3 different size towers but only 1 model, the Z

My $.01 worth since chpthril has more cents than me.

We are on the same page now. Tige does make the E tower in house!

wow...that's all I can say...wow


Fun topic for sure!

Not to add any fuel to the fire, but it does apear there are differences in the Z Tower. Check out the rear legs on these two towers. Maybe one is an earlier version than the other?

They do have differant up-rights

The tower on the right looks like the tower on the RZ2 & 24Ve on tige.com and it's the Z tower offered in "build your Tige"
The tower on the left could be made by XTP as an aftermarket tower for a local dealer? but does not look to be offered by Tige (per website)

So you acknowledge that they're different, but still say they're the same?

In short, We can call these one series or different towers... but you cannot take a tower from an RZ2 and fit it to any of the others and it fit right, if at all.

I think you might be getting it now we all know/understand that the RZ, 24, and 22 all have differant demensions, and require a tower w/ demesions that match.

Think about a wheel for a car/truck. One style, or series, may be offered in many sizes/off-set/lug pattern, but thay are all still called style "X"

You are ether part of the problem or part of the solution, Tequila, sounds like you and I are on the same side

The white RZ2 looks like a samsom tower??

Just like you can't take a pair of Levi's 501 jeans sized 32 / 32 and fit them on a person 46 /36. Still 501 jeans
