    Hi everyone,
    Has anyone ever put a tower on their Grand Sport? I called to get information about it and they wanted to know how thick the fiberglass is on it, any ideas? Any information on towers would be greatly appreciated if anyone has done it or knows the ins and out and if it is worth it.
    thanks

    thanks Jim, that is a nice looking tower, my concern is that mine is older and the installer was not sure if it would need to be reinforced underneath, he said some of the fiberglass was not as thick as towers really hadn't gotten popular until after 1996. I think he said it needs to be at least 3/8 thickness or would need to be reinforced. Does anyone know the thickness?

    Hello By any chance, were you able to find an answer? I am looking to put one on my Grand Sport (love the boat) as well.......

    What type did you get? I am looking at a Monster Tower MT1.
