I'm confused... is that your boat in the garage? Isn't that the e tower?

Ragboy,

Ask Scott if the Razor & the Switchblade are the same as far as weight & function of raising & lowering. If so, it's a piece of cake. I have to lower my Razor to get it in my shop each time. After it's in, I raise it back up. I do it most of the time by myself. REALLY EASY!! Like K said, or maybe it was Sparky, it only takes a minute or 2 at most.

That is in my warehouse, I am 90% sure, my tower is called the z series tower, and the other one, without the horizontal tube, is the e series tower.

y, they are pretty much the same, switchblade doesn't have that horizontal tube, and is 2 7/8" thick.

Rag you have it switched around. You have the e series tower, and the one without the horizantal tube is the z tower which is even harder to take up and down

the way they fold down is almost exactly the same. unscrew the same bolt and it folds the same way

That is very possible, I have switched them around before. It used to say on the site, I don't see anymore.

Man, dropped off my boat to a samson guy in red bluff tonight. She was freshly waxed for the winter. Driving away was like leaving a kid behind somewhere. My wife teared up, she's a dem fine woman.

That is correct. The horizontal section is called the "rail." The rail of a tower is the part that typically is curved to match the windshield of the boat...but some towers are not the same contour, in order to get a different look. Some people like it better, and some do not. Having a rail CAN add a lot of strength to the tower. That said, it doesn't necessarily mean that a tower with rails will be stronger than one without.
