Hey I have an 08 sx 230 and I’m wanting to maybe put a tower on it and was wondering if anyone has an aftermarket tower that they really like and could post some pictures of how they fit. Been looking at monster towers but can’t find many pictures of what they look like on my boat.

<--- Not sure how big you can zoom in on the pic.

I have the Monster MTK with the swivel racks on my 06 230. Love it. Great peeps at Monster as well.

I'm not too terribly far from them and they guided me to "a guy" they know to do the install as I didn't trust anyone around me. Turns out the guy was the head tech at Malibu. He knew the people at Yamaha, called them and found the best (strongest) mounting point (top of the gunnels behind windshield. He has a shop in his yard. His son-in-law works in the gel-coat area, so I had him buff out the entire boat and fix a few dings while they had it. Always good to know "a guy".

I went with Monster to get the swept forward look and their pricing was more than fair. Thing doesn't budge at all with tubes, wakeboarder or surfers.

I would suggest sticking with the monster towers. I had the traditional collapsing monster tower on my 06 230 and that thing was rock solid when up and collapsed below the windshield. Its not the prettiest tower but man that thing was awesome! The MTK is a nice looking tower as well. Stay away from the Aerial towers...if you need more explanation just take a look at my posts on my old boat with the Aerial Freeride tower. It just wasnt very solid...moved all around.
