Tower Fairy in session :lol:

First off you'll need to let me know more about your binimi top. does it stand alone of does it button to the windscreen? Generally speaking its about a 50/50 chance of your binimi top fitting, however you can purchase a tower mounted one for about 500 squid.

The width of your four winns shouldn't be a problem - what model is it? if you aren't sure I can work it out if you know the rough length and year.

Could you maybe give me a call in the office? I'd be happy to discuss your options and to try to tailor the best suited setup to your own needs. We are open 7 days a week 9-6. number is 01270 872161.

Take it easy,

Mike

well, im not in the UK, but my binimi is stand alone, the boat is 88" wide and it is a 2000 model. i was looking at monster tower since many people seem to recomend them do you think that is a good choice.

Hey,

88" - sounds like a 18 or 19ft?

If the binimi is stand alone chances are it won't fit... however i wouldn't rule it out totally. best thing to do it install the tower with the binimi up to see if you can get round it.

I deal with Monster Tower so am biased but in all honesty i feel its the best tower on the market right now. totally stiff, silent and you get a huge amount for the $'z. don't just look at Towers for what they are, look at aftermarket support, warranties quality of construction etc...

I have sold several hundred Monster Towers now and have had so few problems its unbelievable... compared to some other brands out there i've been very pleased with Monster.

Also, just as a side note you won't need to worry about any fibreglass strengthening on your rig as it is well within the tolerances on Fibreglass thickness (Min - 3/8ths").

Personally i think your choices are:
Monster Tower (MonsterTower.com) - excellent value, quality and support
LoudLiquids T1 (www.loudliquid.com) - Excellent build, not quite as stiff but huge emphasis on aesthetic looks.. looks really sweet with some nice details.
Samson sports custom tower (SamsonSports.com)- if you want to spend a few more $'z to get something really off the chain you won't go wrong with one of these. mor emoney but excellent support, quality and silent too! 8)

Also, www.towerbinimis.com may be able to hook you up if needed, but Monster Tower do a nice one too.

Hope that helps bud.

Mike

hey i really appreciate it i went ahead and bought a monster, i dont know the exact dimensions but is there a possibility that the tower could go over the minimi? i was scanning the lake the otherday for a monster and didnt see one but some of the towers i saw i THINK will be tall enough that my binimi would fit under. if not i may be buying a new binimi... which means i need more help :-D ill check the URL you gave me and look at monster's site any suggestions assuming it doesnt fit?

50-50 chance of it fitting...

If it won't fit... you could always get one off Monster Tower.. they do them for about 500 bucks in any colour you want. or Towerbinimis.com are very good

Take it easy and good luck with the new tower! 8)
