I've pulled two skiers at one time with no movement.

Thanks for all the info! I think what Im going to do, to lower costs is just buy the tower and have the dealer install it.

Then down the road buy speakers and accessories and do myself. that stuff I can do.

Install it yourself, and go buy your speakers. It is very easy to do.

I got my Aerial Airbourne Tower from H2O Sports Warehouse. I installed myself with help from some friends 2 years ago and have had no issues. Very solid tower. I just looked on their website h2osportswarehouse.com and they are offering Airbourne Tower package with 2 speakers for $1352 plus free shipping. You might take a look they have several different towers and packages to choose from. If you look at their Airbourne gallery you will see my boat along with some others. My boat is the solid yellow Z212 Mariah. I have posted some pics as well on here. Hope this helps.

I'm waiting to pull the trigger this weekend. Still undecided between the ascent or the airborne and with my green sides I can't decide between black or polished... Any opinions? I hate having ocd... Lol.

I bought an Aerial Airborne last year from H20wharehouse....have yet to install it. After shopping around, I found them to be a pretty good deal.

As for H20warehouse - less than impressed. Good price but gimichy. I ordered since it said they had them in stock - didn't get the tower until 8 wks after order. The "FREE" wakeboard was even longer. Needless to say, the end of last season came and passed without a tower installed.

Hoping to get this on in the next month or so....

Thanks guys for all the input. Bahoktz, that sucks about the shipping, I hate when that happens. With all the rain weve had last week my dock is starting to float. Wont be long now, I still need to get a motor rehoned and put in my old kawi stand up ski.

Ariel towers (aka h2owarehouse) just charged my credit card THEN called me a day later to tell me the tower wouldn't ship for 6 to 8 weeks!! I still don't have my refund back t days later. When I do I'll be ordering from fluidcore in Austin tx. The guy there is awesome and even matched Ariel's package price but with better product!! I'll let you know what I think when I get it. If anyone is interested in a tower definitely look up fluidcore. Just my .02 on my experience so far.

gahooligan, i ordered mid July of last year. Took 5-6 weeks to get to me. The promotion was for a free wakeboard. After calls and chats I finally got the wakeboard in DECEMBER.

For the money I think they give a good product, but the hassle they put you through probably isn't worth it. I did alot of shopping last year for one of these - they were both attractive in price and design. Maybe Aerial from someone other than H20?

As for Fluidcore - looks like they have alot of designs but only one listed on the US website.

I'll post a picture when I get mine put up.

Baholtz h2owarehouse IS Ariel. It's one and the same. Kane, the guy at Fluidcore in Austin carries all their towers. He matched prices on Ariel's package deal and his come with better speakers even. Also, he powder coats here in the USA. My tower will be shipped today. I'll take some pics. Looking at their photos fluidcore quality looks equal too or better than Ariel. He said Ariel makes good towers but manufacturers overseas and it's always a long wait to receive product. I know I wished they had been honest upfront about lead time. Not telling me until after they charged my card really put a bad taste in my mouth...
