One of the biggest revolutions in water skiing came when Correct Craft developed and patented the tower. A tower mounts onto the deck of a boat like a cage that allows the rope to be raised from 3-4 feet off of the water to 7 feet of the water. This upward pull makes a dramatic difference in how wakeboarders, kneeboarders, combo skiers, and barefooters feel when they are on the water. This upward pull makes skiers feel lighter while having the added bonus of keeping the rope out of the way. The tower also can be accessorized to add racks, speakers, and lights that are the ultimate "pimping" accessories for your ride. All towers are designed to fold down so that a boat can pass under bridges or on highways if you so desire. One of the obvious advantages of the tower is taking advantage of the all new tower boom which can put the entire boom on the tower and out of the boat. The ski pylon or gunnel were the only available attachment points for a boom before the tower. Having the option of either using the ski pylon or tower allows you to choose what will work best for your boat. If you are interested in the latest technology, you will choose the latter. Let me list the benefits that you can use on your wife; 1. with the tower boom on the outside of the boat, you can bring more stuff in the boat 2. it folds up easily for storage 3. the expanding extension arms are fully adjustable to your needs 4. looking cool is standard with the tower boom because it does not look like any other boom 5. by having the skier on the tower boom, the driver can help them learn more safely 6. as with all booms, the added stability reduces injuries and falls Tower Booms are designed to fit all types of towers on the market. There are even some suppliers who have gone so far as to guarantee that their tower boom will fit your boat or they will give you your money back. I recommend using one of these suppliers. The tubing that tower manufacturers use come in different "outer diameters." Knowing what this measurement is or knowing what year and tower manufacturer you have will be the only information you will need to get the right tower boom. Setting up the tower boom for the first time takes about an hour. You will need to mount the boom clamp on the rear leg of the tower as low as possible. In addition, there are two tower boom clamps that are mounted in a triangulated fashion to add an incredible amount of stability to the boom that is unparalleled in other types of booms. After determining the locations of these clamps that best suit your tower, you simply attach the first boom are to the clamp via a heavy-duty quick release pin. The second solid aluminum piece inside the first piece, and then just adjust the length of the boom cables so that your boom sits securely where you like it. Having the coolest looking boom in the world will be a source of pride for a very long time. But what you will be most excited about is the benefits you get from helping teach your family and friends to ski without all the problems that come from trying to learn on the long line.
