I don't have any close ups of the Tower, I just got this promotional pic and a rider's pic as well. As far as the interiors go. They are offering an updated styling that includes the choice of accent fabric. There is a irredecent "snakeskin" and another less flashy fabric, similar to those in Malibu and Mastercraft. It seems as though the new interior is more plush, especially in the bowrider lounges. There is the option of premium stereo with the tweeters separate from the midrange speakers, and all the the cd players come sirius equipt. Taps is now standard as well. Here is the rider's graphic, I will try to get a close up for everyone.

Anyone know, does that tower fold down ? It does not look like it.

If it is like my Boss Billet tower, it comes apart where that rear billet piece is and it folds forward.

It does not look like there is pivot point.

Definitely similar.....I'm kind of excited though. I got an 05 tower and I didn't even know it!
;)

I really like those graphics! Tower is going to take a little time to get used to though.
I love it . Graf-x and tower are sic! I really liked the west coast design but that new Riders looks hot. Way to go Tige, keep it up. Is the tower an option or standard for the Limited as well?

I'm not so sure about the tower. As long as I don't hit my head on it and I can see around it when driving, I'll be stoked.
The new Rider's edition graphics are killer. My new one's gonna have them

The las vegas dealer doesn't really like it either and has elected to continue with the Metcraft tower
The graghics are killer, as for as the tower, not sure yet.

I took our 22iR in for the West Coast graphics and the daughter nixed it.
Just stayed with stock.
I think they look great,, but my kids think the Jesse James look is getting old, and they lack the sparkel and quality of the factory decals.

Overall size ratio of tower to boat looks like the tower is a bit large. I need to see one on a live boat. Looks promising asthetically. What's up with the racks and the placement? Illustrations show two different rack designs and placement.
Neither of the two locations work for me. The forward location will prove to be a sight-line issue and access to boards would have to be from the bow area. The support bar over the side windshield is also a sight-line issue. The Boss billet integrated the rack-forks into the billet oval and were absolutely solid. Simply place the racks where they are best located for the user, not where the tower design dictates.
Getting close but not there yet. My biggest question is whether or not this tower and accessory offering is going to match the level of quality found with the aftermarket companies like Titan, WD, Boss etc....
It's bang for buck. What is my $3500 going to get me from the boat manufacturer versus what I can get as an aftermarket item.

I think that the big round part does not go with the tower, looks like, it is missing something, don't get me wrong I lover Tige' and have a 'boat' load of money in my boat, but looks like it is missing something, keep up the good customer service.................

The quality of the new tower is phenomenal. The thing is rock solid. I'm a pretty big guy, and can make any tower flex, except this one. Whether boarding behind it, or just hanging on it. I cannot stress how impressed I am with it. There are a number of ways to mount the board racks..low near the windshield (line of site..got nixed) on the upper supports (where we mounted them) and on the billet part that says Tige' (didn't want to cover up the name!) Another guy bought a 05 24v on our lake, he got his first and didn't want to wait for the new tower to be put on..it was still in the development stage when he got it, and didn't want the meta-craft tower, so he got a boss tower put on. His boat looks sweet, but the tower does not even compare with ours. His tower moves, shakes, squeeks. My opinions
