Skis on the floor, what tower should I ask Mrs. Claus for?

Is the Titan III the latest and what would look and function best on my 1997 Response?

I would prefer an Illusion type, but do not know if it is made for the Response?

Thanks, for taking time to read my post and offer your opinion.

I don't know if the width is different between your boat and the RLXi, but I know Metcraft can make an Illusion for the RLXi (it's special order - or it was a year or two ago). The Illusion won't work on the RLXi if you're a shortline guy, though, because it's base is behind the pylon. You have to answer what is best looking to you. I have a Monster Tower on my SLXi and like it. Monster makes ski racks (for all towers except Illusion) to get those skis off the floor.

I'd buy either a Titan I or Titan II...much stiffer than the TIII, better ski / board rack options, and a whole lot cheaper. I had a TII on my SLXi and preferred it to the TIII on my RLXi.

edit - FWIW, the Illusion tower presents a problem if you ski somewhat short line lengths...the rope comes in contact with it fairly quickly. I skied an 05 SLXi with Illusion tower and contacted the tower at 22' off.

Either the Titan II or III looks great on the Response. The Illusion also mounts in a bad location for access to the boat.
