    Default Heading for Vonore tomorrow

    I'm heading to Marine Tower Systems tomorrow to drop the boat off for a couple of weeks. Getting a custom tower built and installed. I'm leaning towards having them build one like Michael Hunter's. Any thoughts?

    I like that style, and mine. Both were made by New Dimensions, you can see them on their website. Those are the only two towers I like. His is the traditional Supra tower that was found on 2000-2004 Launches.

    Mine is what was found on modern Moombas. I will say, if you want to add speakers you might want to go with his. His has a higher overall height clearance.

    Mine.

    I like the swept back design on haugys better than mine but New Dimensions didn't offer it on a Sunsport. Make sure you post pics when she is done.

    Thats the tower that came on mine from the factory. I like them, one of the best looking in the industry I think.

    Thanks guys. And Haugy, I really like yours as well. I've been struggling with the idea of putting the swept back style on mine when the windshield is so squared off. Seeing it on yours I really like it, so I'm confused again. I was thinking that Michael's straight-lined version of the New Dimensions might better match the older, squared lines of my Saltare. But now I'm not sure that it would matter. I've always liked the swept look at little more. Thoughts? I'll be checking for your input on my iphone when I get there! Thanks.

    Both ND styled towers look great and perfectly at home on square windshield Supras. However since you've already tastefully updated the look of the old girl (carbon fiber fabric, new font, etc.), I'd lean towards the ND swoop on Haugy's. The base still follows the lines on the windshield, but the swoop modernizes it a bit.

    Can't go wrong either way, & Haugy makes a good point on the height. But since it's custom, why not just make it a little taller if speaker placement is a concern.

    I always enjoy looking at those two boats.
