Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

I am just curious to everybody's opinion on the new tower. Personally, I like both the old and new equally. I like it keeps the industrial/practical look. The designer of the new tower did well.

Didn't like it at first but it is growing on me.

I love the function of the new tower! if you have to collapse it, it literally takes a minute and you can easily do it by yourself. maybe if you had sound pack three it would be a little heavy but with two rev 10s, I can collapse the tower by myself in a minute. As far as looks... I like them both about the same.

I like both as well but what is this tower collapsing you speak of lol. I've never tried collapsing the tower on either of my Axis but glad it's easier for those who do

Dropping the tower is definitely easy. I have SP2 with 4 Icon 8s and I can put it up and down by myself with out any problems.

I don't know if it was an issue with the older towers, but this tower is rock solid and doesn't shake or rattle when riding either.

I love to hear the opinions. I talked to one of the designers of it. He seemed unsure about it but it personally fits the boat well and it it wasn't dramatic. Kudos to Malibu.

I really like the new tower. It's a clean, updated look. The previous design is timeless and will always look great too though. Both are unique which is another plus.

Ok I'm a noob so go easy on me....but what new tower are you talking about? I heard there is v1/v2 but is this something different?

Top pic is the previous version.
Bottom is the new tower for '15.

Not sure I like how it rests on the vertical members when folded. Rev 410s sure are heavy
