Monster Towers Cargo Bimini

[FamilyMatters]

I know I saw the Monster Towers Cargo Bimini in somebody's description of their boat, but I don't remember who. Does anyone have one, like or dislike it?
Is is worth the dough??

Thanks

I have one... but I still haven't installed it! In fact, I haven't even had my boat home from the marina to do the small bit of drilling required. Possibly I'll do that during my staycation next week.

One of the mounts shipped was a bit loose and I still need to ask them to replace it. Otherwise, it looks like a very solid piece of hardware. I have assembled it and it's pretty much exactly as you'd expect from the description.

Can't speak to the Monster but I just got one for my 07 Outback from www.towerbiminis.com and couldn't be happier with it. It didn't require any drilling, took about 10 minutes to install and is rock solid. Cost me about $750 shipped to my door.

I love our monster tower Bimini. Fairly easy to install. It doesn't shake or rattle at speeds up 35mph on the water(didnt go any fast but sure it wouldn't shake or rattle either. I am 6'1" and I can stand straight up underneath in the middle. Room for speakers on back bar of tower. Make sure you get the largest size especially since it is the same price. Was worried to drill into the tower but turn out fantastic. Easy to take down. I love it because we can leave the tube inflated and up top all day and just take it down when we need it. No stopping to blow it up or deflate it. Well worth 599 plus tax and shipping cost around 640 or 670 if you live I Tenn. Wouldn't even consider z5 since it's 1200- 1800 dollars more depending on what dealer is trying to rip you off. Lots of options for placement/height and even adjustable somewhat after install! Monster towers is great to deal/work with!!!

BTW Three wake boards with bindings on fit easily on cargo top. They won't go anywhere. Also tested at 35mph without problem. Same with tube.

If anyone found a Z-5 for $1200 they would buy it all day because it's worth 1,200 but in fact if you order it with a boat it's $1,500. If you want one after your purchase...try $2,000-$2,500 for the Z-5. Now that is crazy. Everyone who owns a Z-5 loves it's features, functions, styling, and quality. With that said, a few years ago people were buying them for $1,600 all day but now due to markups, material, who knows what else, standard dealer pricing is outrageous so I don't know anyone who has bought one after their boat purchase. Everyone goes to Monster or Tower Biminis.

The Monster website says it (Cargo Bimini) can't be towed. What do you do with it to get it to the lake???

Thanks

Well, if you have a truck and order the small bimini you can put it in the back. We have the medium size which is awsome and we take the canvas off of the frame and just trailer with the frame on the tower. When we get to the lake we put canvas back on the frame. It takes about 2-3min to place back. Have taken 2 trips up to Chattanooga from central Alabama on the highway at 65-75mph (I don't drive fast when towing the boat usauall just at speed limit and have had no issue with the frame. Installed correctly the frame doesn't move at all on tower. Don't know what we did without it all last summer....oh thats right we roasted alive!!!
Plus no having to clutter up the tower with another set of board racks. I have seen mulitlpe boats this year loaded down with 8 wakeboard/surfboards. You can have a total of 7 boards with the medium top and your 2 board racks. Never had that many different boards on my boat yet but will probably happen soon I am sure.(lots of people asking to come out lately!)
