Aerial Airborne Tower on 1996 Z201 Talari
 

I just installed the tower and tried it out on the water last weekend. It was great. There was not a single creak or moan from this solid tower. Installation was fairly straight forward, and easy. It took me about 3 hours overall to install. I was planning on taking pics to document the whole thing because there arent enough for the Mariah out on the internet, but once I got going it totally escaped my mind. Sorry about that. I would be happy to answer any questions bou the install you may have. Let me tell you that this tower has exceeded expectations. I thought that a universal tower couldn't be this nice. I was wrong. I picked it up from ebay for $800. I can't wait to try it out on smooth water. The day I went was pretty choppy. I guess that really tested it for moans and creaks. I would recomend this tower to anybody who is thinking of putting a universal tower on their boat.

I am not a fan of towers, sorry.:rolleyes:

But this one looks GREAT. I really like the lines how the frame is shaped to the window frame. Nice choice and looks like a job well done.:wink_thumbup:

Just wondering what that set you back?

I am glad you like the tower. Especially since you aren't a fan of them. That makes the compliment even better. Thanks. This Tower set me back $800 plus about another $30 in epoxy and plywood materials. I got it from ebay, but it was sold by the fabricator. If you go directly to their site it is $999 plus another $150 shipping. I think I got a pretty good deal. I have seen it cheaper though.

The tower looks custom, not generic. I like the lines as it follows the window frames and overall height.

Thank you. I spent a lot of time finding the right one for the boat.

considering this was an Internet purchase, without the opportunity to "test" fit any pieces. I think it looks like it was made for your boat as the template ....... :wink_thumbup:

I agree, dont know if I will ever install one, but if I do it will be this one.

Thanks for the info.

We're looking for a tower and this one looks really clean and nice... Does the tower collapse at all? Whom did you buy it from on Ebay?
Thanks Doug

Re: Aerial Airborne Tower on 1996 Z201 Talari
 

Yes the tower collapses. It does require you to have an allen wrench (comes with the tower) to collapse it though. That could be annoying if you plan to collapse it often. I got it from H20sportswarehouse on ebay. It is the same guy that actually distributes the towers. You can preview them on their website www.H20sportswarehouse.com, or his ebay store is located here Speakers, Towers items in H2O Sports Warehouse store on eBay! Good luck, and if you need any more details or pics let me know and I can get them for you.
