Baller Dacon62 Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 New Tower for the Prostar. Looks beefy and functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 I posted pictures of it a few days ago in the Prostar pics thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubs Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Actually looks like the tower would not effect short line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 No, it doesn't. They said they've had some deep 41 behind it with that tower on the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BRY Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 What does one need a roll bar for on a boat? Seems it wouldn't work too well on water. Not a race boat so also seems one should be able to keep it off the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted December 19, 2013 Administrators Share Posted December 19, 2013 Seems silly to spend all that time making a boat with no wake and then putting a tower on it Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MAD11 Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 Best thing about that tower is it looks easy to unbolt and remove. Same with the one on the 200. Always struggle to see what the point is on those models. That being said, that's why it's called an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boarditup Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I've had a tower on all of my slalom boats - great place for the speakers and the high point makes towing boarders or little kids a lot easier. When recreational skiing, with a full boat, the high point allows the seats to be full. I want a full 6'6" under the speakers so I don't knock my head, though. The mini-towers were useless for me.

Baller oldjeep Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 My comment from the other thread: My .02 - MC makes beautiful boats and god awful looking towers. This one isn't quite as ugly as the previous transformer versions, but jeeze talk about taking an elegant looking boat and making it look bad.

Baller andjules Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 @oldjeep EXACTLY. Thankfully this one is a step in the right direction but doesn't really fit with the design lines of the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 I believe Marcus may of had some input into this to provide for shortline skiing..Thats a first, and Kudos to MC for those that want a tower, especially for their kids.

Baller 6balls Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 I would like it easily removable. Would use it like a barefoot boom...on when I need it, not when I don't(Most of the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mateo_Vargas Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 I like how the line from the end of the windshield continues through the tower. Wonder how it looks with a Bimini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 What I wonder is how often the driver is going to bash their elbow into the huge knob that is used for removing or folding the tower. Just for grins, compare the MC tower to those from Malibu, Centurion, Nautique and even Moomba who is just buying Roswell towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wayne Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 I still think its a shame Titan disappeared and their T3 is locked out of production (I think due to a patent, but not sure). Relatively easy to remove, strong and it doesn't look too bad. It could usually be mounted so it wouldn't interfere until after 38' off or better but I'm biased since I ordered my Response LXI with one.

Baller Texas6 Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 If I had a dollar for every person who banged their head on my 197 mini-tower, I'd be really wealthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 All the guys at the dealer meeting who saw and drove the boat loved the tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Wayne Posted December 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 19, 2013 @scotchipman. Yes that is a Titan T3. I have a polished one (was the same price as black powder coat) on my 2009 with a Bimini that goes over the top of the tower. I got tired of ducking under a standard Bimini on our old boat. My wife calls it our "$2500 Bimini". It does help with teaching deep water starts and as many people make fun of towers as roll cages, my T3 saved my windshield on a houseboat trip. Some heavily loaded wake boat drove by way to close and slammed my Response into the houseboat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller theboardingschool Posted December 22, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2013 That's actually my boat, and the tower is incredibly easy to take off. One person could do it if you needed too. And, you can do it in under 30 seconds. I teach a ton of beginners, skiing and wakeboarding, so it makes it really nice for that. I'll be honest the first picture I saw of it, I didn't like it. But, now I genuinely do. It looks a lot differently with the bimini up as well.

Baller Brady Posted December 22, 2013 Baller Share Posted December 22, 2013 I love the tower on my Prostar. I also have a boom. However, the tower is almost as easy to teach kids to ski as the boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
