Here you go, the wait is over. I got these from a very reliable source - this is the real deal.
Let's hear your opinions!

Isn't that the same tower on the older Malibus (maybe still on the vride?) And the lines on that Supra are SICK. How big is that boat?!
hmmmmmm . . .
tower on the LSV looks like a Malibu knock-off. I like the looks, but I'd rather have the old tower design w/ the Z5 Cargo bimini.
Isn't that Supra tower the same from last year's World's Edition? I'm not 100% sold on that design either, but that is one heck of a good looking boat! Wish it was on my lift!
I LOVE the LSV tower!!! That has always been my favorite design. I will have to get used to the Supra tower. It looks kinda busy.
I absolutely love that Supra - is that a 24'?
The Illusion towers look really good on the Moombas, but its kind of lame taking an almost direct copy of another manufacturers product.
Also, that LSV looks huge in the bow.
So is the lsv growing to 22'. What does the xlv look like? I agree the supra tower is too busy.
The only thing I don't like about that type of a tower is your only option for a mirror is a windshield mounted mirror. I much prefer the tower mirrors. Seems pretty minor, but a lot of times it's just a driver and a boarder for me, so the mirror is key.
Other than that, I really like the look of the LSV.
al, did you PS the "moomba logo" on a malibu.... and color the 2010 worlds edition of the supra tower????
Like the look, but as Ian says not that original. I guess the sea rays, larsons, four winns & sea doos are now getting the standard towers, guess wakeboats have to make a statment and stay together.
hey just as long as they don't copy the price from a malibu too! I'm cool with a knock off as long as it still costs thousands less. I think that LSV tower looks great- and I love the way the windshield looks on that boat. man it looks like that would make it much easier to drop the tower for garage parking too.Quote:

Not a big fan of the new Supra tower.
Csm, I have seen the malibu's with this type of tower that have a tower mirror. It comes out from the top of hte tower above the driver and bends down to just above the windshield.Quote:

All kidding aside, I like the new design. I would like to see some more color choices.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Malibu Knock off! :(
The Supra tower looks great in my opinion but to completely copy the swoop??? That just makes the Moomba line look like a copycat IMO! Totally unoriginal... totally dissapointed. I thought the Moomba XTP was one of the best looking towers out there.
I really hope that was a JOKE Cab!
Now that what I am talking about. Now to get rid of the bags.Quote:

That new boat is NOT the 24V. They are doing away the the 24v and it's a brand new boat, it's called the 242. I was in that same boat last week and absolutely LOVE it! The deck is a little bit higher past the rubrail than the old design, and the tower is similar to last year except that the tower is fully powdercoated and the rails are powdercoated as well, instead of Line-X'd.
Regarding the Moomba V2 tower, it's a great design and works extremely well, the tower has a spring-assist to make it really easy for a single person to break it down.
I really like the look of the LSV tower but i wish it was more original. Otherwise that is one sexy boat!
The Supra tower is awesome, different then anybody else's and still very functional. Plus you get the Z5
I really want the new LSV. I personally do not care that it appears to be a "direct copy" All of the previous towers on almost all the boats look very similar to me. I have always loved the Malibu Illusion tower. The one on the Supra reminds me of last years Axis boat towers. That Supra has to be one of the best looking boats I have ever seen!!!
How dificult is it geting in and out for the boat with the new LSV V2 tower? I have never been in a Malibu but it looks like the tower is right in the way of egress.
Who the heck is ever going to get out of it????????? Unless it's over the platform and back in.
Samson makes a tower mirror for the Malibu that i'm sure will work for the new Moomba tower.Quote:

The breakaway system is easier to use, the pins that allow the tower to collapse are easier to insert and remove, the header had an additional piece of oval pipe added down the center for reinforcement and the bases have been totally revamped. Also, the powder that's being used in the powder coating process is a higher quality than the old gloss powder that you saw on Illusion X towers."

Beat me to reposting it, thanks!
I wonder if you could attached spinner racks to the new V2 tower. The nice thing about the standard tubular design is it allows more flexiblilty and mounting options for racks and other accessories.
Can someone tell me what the difference between "powdercoating" and painting is? Either "powdercoating" is BS or there are people out there claiming that their stuff is "powdercoated" when it's really just paint or paint with an additive. How do you tell the difference?
Powder coating is sprayed on dry and heated to a specific temperature to bake it on. The finish is alot thicker and more durable then regular enamel paint.

i love the look but looks like the tower base is a bit restrictive if your in the back seat. Great look and certainly beats those silly support bars on the 10's that keep falling onto the top rail!
I wouldn't want that tower on an LSV due to the gunwale restriction. It pretty much makes it impossible to board from a dock, not to mention the view restriction from the cabin for passengers. An XLV may be a different story.
That Supra 242 is INCREDIBLE! I also like the new tower on the Moomba. Well done, SC!
just a minor PS...
