How to Choose the Right Wakeboard Tower for Your Boat
When it comes to upgrading your boat for the ultimate boating experience, one of the most impactful changes you can make is installing a high-quality boat tower. We specialize in providing the best wake towers designed for performance, durability, and style. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right tower for your boat?
1. Understand the Types of Towers Available
The first step in choosing the right boat tower is to understand the different types available to you. At Big Air Wake Towers, we offer a variety of universal models that designed to fit different boat types, needs, and budgets.
- OEM/Factory Towers: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or factory towers are designed specifically for certain boat models and are typically installed by the boat manufacturer. While they offer a seamless, factory-matched appearance, OEM wakeboard towers can be expensive and are often limited to newer boats or specific models.
OEM towers may also restrict customization options and replacement parts can be costly or difficult to source over time. - Custom Towers: Custom wakeboard towers are built specifically for a single boat, offering a tailored fit and unique design. While they provide a one-of-a-kind look, custom towers often come with higher price tags, longer lead times, and limited flexibility if your needs change in the future.
- Universal Fit Towers: Universal wakeboard towers, like those we offer, are designed to fit a wide range of boat makes and models. With adjustable width and mounting options, they provide a custom-like fit at a significantly lower cost than OEM or fully custom towers. Universal fit towers are ideal for both new and older boats, offering excellent performance, modern styling, and greater customization flexibility — without the premium price.
2. Consider the Materials and Durability
When choosing a tower, it’s important to consider the materials. High-quality materials such as aluminum and stainless steel are key to a durable and corrosion-resistant tower. Big Air towers are designed to withstand marine environments, offering long-lasting performance and a sleek appearance.
- Aluminum Towers: Aluminum wakeboard towers are lightweight, strong, and commonly used in freshwater environments. In saltwater or brackish water, a properly anodized or powder coated aluminum tower offers excellent corrosion resistance
- Stainless Steel Towers: If you’re looking for superior strength and a premium finish, stainless steel is an excellent choice. It’s built to last and can handle the toughest conditions, offering both beauty and brawn.
3. Height and Adjustability
Tower height directly affects rope angle and rider lift. Taller wakeboard towers create a higher tow point, resulting in a smoother pull and better lift – ideal for wakeboarding, wakesurfing, and more advanced riding.
Most Big Air Wake Towers stand approximately 5 feet tall from the mounting points to the top of the tower. When combined with a standard 2-foot gunnel height, this provides roughly 7 feet of clearance from the floor of the boat. This height range offers excellent rope positioning without interfering with passenger comfort or visibility.
Adjustable tower designs allow for proper fitment across a wide range of boat styles and sizes, making them especially useful for families, mixed-skill riders, or boats that serve multiple purposes throughout the season.
4. Customization Options
Your wakeboard tower should match your boat’s style and your riding needs. Big Air offers some customization options (at additional costs) including powder coat options for your tower.
5. Get Inspired by Our Customer Photo Gallery
