Modern Tower

[cschafer71]

I have a 2009 Seadoo 230 Challenger and i am looking to upgrade my existing tower to a more modern one. Looking for one like on the 20012 Wake edition or similar. Any help would be appreciated.

The Monster MTK seems to be a popular choice

MTK Wakeboard Tower

The stunning forward-facing MTK tower is designed to complement and enhance the appearance of your boat. The MTK features beefy 2-1/2" diameter pipe construction and a protective finish. This tower can be top- or side-mounted and you can fold either forward or aft to meet your needs...

The 180 in 2009, the tower looked like an afterthought. It doesn't follow the boat lines and the tow point is way too far back.

But you have a 230, so at least the tower follows the lines of the hull and windshield frame. Are you thinking you want a forward swept tower? The biggest issue is SeaDoo may have put fiberglass reinforcement in those spots and not in the spots where a reverse tower may attach. Unless you are ready to do some glass work, it may be unsafe.

I have the fiberglass issue figured out, patching the old holes and installing the new tower with proper reinforcement.

I installed a tower in my previous boat. Encased some plywood in fiberglass matt then adhered it to the inside hull with 3M 5200 and large SS washers on the back. Never had a single stress crack after 10 years of wakeboarding big kids. Not hard to do at all.
