Got me a new tower
« on: November 15, 2008, 22:48:06 pm »
This summer I had me a bit of a clearance issue with my factory tower :-\.  Hotel awning 1, toyota epic 0.  So out with the old and in with the new.  It's a Sampson Razor.  The build quality is incredible.  It has built in rotating board racks and a lighted tow point as nice bonus features and folds flat to the height of the windsheild ;D

That is super nice, it looks great on your boat. That's the best looking "modern" tower out there, in my opinion, I've seen it on other makes and it looks good on them too.

I checked their website, duh.. 3500 powdercoated, 3700 anodized. That's definitely a deal, esp. with rotating board racks. Once again, nice upgrade

Sampson does good work too.  I had some fiberglass repair done at Seattle Watersports.  Sampson picked up the boat and took it to their shop in southern WA to fab up the tower and install, then delivered it back to Seattle Watersports.  SWS has a bunch of brand new covers so I had one for a non-tower e22 modified to go around the tower legs.

I have had the Sampson tower on my S22 for the last 8 seasons, and have been very happy with it.

2000epic, sounds like you're in my neck of the woods.  My parents bought our 99 E22 in Jan 00 new from Ski Masters Watersports (aka Seattle Water Sports now), now I do all the work and repairs myself.  Come summertime I might want to check out that tower in person, Im finally starting to get to the point boarding where a tower would benefit me.  But I have to see one in person otherwise its a tough sell for the folks paying the bill haha.

I bought mine at Ski-Master's also, it's a 2000 but I bought it brand new in 03'.  I'm about 60 miles north of seattle but sometimes make my way down to lake WA to cruise around.  If you get too close to Bill Gates's place the gaurds shoot tennis balls at you!

Ski Masters still has lots of parts, I got a brand new toyota cover in the fall from them.
