Samson Razor Tower (Pics)

[tracerrx]

I worked with Will @ Jetboatpilot and acquired a Samson Razor (Folding) wakeboard tower for my 212SS.

While we had some difficulty with product delivery (Mounting hardware was left out), Will & Samson worked together to resolve it quickly and I'm very pleased with the final product. I had it professionally installed, but if your not afraid to put holes in your hull the install process looks rather simple. I haven't had a chance to pull anyone yet (a little too cold!), but after a couple runs on the lake and while towing the tower is super secure/sturdy. I needed a tower that was foldable (To fit in the boat lift) and that was EASY to fold... This tower has two handles that unscrew and the entire thing folds. I love how it follows the lines of the windshield.

Were excited for it to warm up, Installed Perfect Pass along with the tower : )

Awesome looking tower! What did you pay to have it installed? I've been considering adding a tower, but have so little time to mess with the boat I'm afraid it would take me too much time to get it installed.

Is "I'm not sure" a bad answer? I had a yearly service, tower installed, perfect pass installed, and some warranty work all done at the same time. I "Think" it was around $600 to have it installed, and they did a great job!

PM me when you need to get rid of that boat and move up to a 24x series. Yours is my next boat

Ha! If we kept it at our Boca house for ocean use I would definitely have a 24, unfortunately the dock at our lake house in sebring will only (and barely) accommodate a 21 (hence the massive scratch down the side! Seriously, we only have about 3" of clearance on either side!

If Yamaha would only make a 28' Cuddy Cabin.....

Again hats off to Will @ Jetboatpilot, I just called and explained I needed a tower that folded EASY and completely, but didn't have the "wobble" problems of some other towers. He researched it and came up with this samson razor (which can be folded/raised easily one handed when the wife and kids strand you alone on the dock with cleanup!).

That looks nice. I probably should have gone your route. I have the 212x and love it except the tower is about 4 inches to tall to get under a couple of bridges on our lake. If the tow ball wasn't welded on I could just unscrew that and be fine.
I need to figure some way to fold the tower easily.

Put more beer in the boat and you will get under those bridges just fine !!
