    The boat shop in Vegas did a single Switchblade tower and it wobbles like mad. I am sure after reading all this that they have a loose bolt or two somewhere. I saw the tower myself at the reunion, and it was wobbly to the point I would consider it unacceptable. I grabbed it and shook it gently at the dock...about 3-4 inches of wobble with 30-40 pounds of pressure. Far worse than my stock Metcraft with 45 pounds of speakers on it for sure.

    Because of that, Matt is very unhappy with the tower, but I bet he would be willing to try again given the information here.
    Be excellent to one another.

      Wow, I can tell you, with all the crap I have loaded on my tower, and rolling over my own large wake, it is much stronger than my OEM tower. Just grabbing it, it doesn't seem to wobble at all, and my OEM did.

      I will add, that samson did the install on mine themselves in their shop. Don't know if that makes a diff. But others on this board with samsons all said it was stronger also.

        I will say that I'm a big guy and I have had zero problems with my two samson towers. We tow tubes (yea I know tube haters, I too tube) with two 250lb plus guys on the tube from the tower and she works like a champ. If you have that much wobble on any tower, then perhaps as you stated it lies in the installers not the tower.

        As an added bonus the folks at Samson are a real class act!

            I'm not busting your chops because I'm a tube hater, but towing a tube from the tower is not a good idea. Even if the tower is super strong, think about what would happen should the tube become submerged and you're trying to turn.

              yea, but it's a lot of fun
