It looks great but it might be too big, It's kind of expensive also. Just wondering if anyone has one on their v20

the guys around here are way to cheap to spend that kind of cash on a tower like that.:laugh: There are a few guys with hard tops, but none that I've seen of that particular manufacturer......Bet it would be nice though:sly:

For that kind of dough you can have a custom tower built to the exact specs of your boat. Or you could buy me a new truck.

I paided right at the $3000 price at last years boat show, that was for the light tabs, box brackets, 5 welded rod holders and 2 clamp on adjustable rod holders, plus the shipping to my door.
Came with all hardware and they were very good with my phone questions!! i Have forgot what the warr. is I think 5 years on the welds?
a large pipe cutter from home depo is the perfect cutting tool! worked awesome.

Custom around my house was $5000+

I like how it says, "the height is adjustable by trimming the legs before installing base fittings." I'd really love to see how they raise it LOL.

I like that top but it is very expensive. The majority of people that own +/- 20 yr old boats own them because they're a lot cheaper than a new one.

The thing about a new boat is they have problems too. I chose to have my problems minus a monthly payment, which feels alot better IMO!

:happy:

I called Island Towers and spoke with one of their sales/tech guys. Very knowledgable, I must say! I was considering getting one for my V20, but also put off by the cost. I may just build my own as well... wish there were some plans drawn up in cad or something for us DIY'ers... *cough* *cough*

A top is what I's thinkin' to since no windshield...Google search boat tops and find plans you like...I'd keep it as LIGHT as possible w/a fabric top...
