Anyone have any leads on a used FCT2 tower for (95-06) Super Air/Super Sport Nautique?

You will also want to check over at Planet Nautique .com. You can get a NEW tower from New Dimension in Maryville, Tenn that looks very close to the FTC 2 tower. 9 out of 10 people would think that it is OEM. They offer tower wiring for sound and power coating. They even offer installation and board racks. They are not cheap, but look very OEM.

Finding used can be difficult, but you are in Florida and that seems to be where the most pop up.

I hope this helps,

Donald

Planet Nautique is definitely the spot to look. Also a good idea to call a few Nautique dealers and see what they have. I was lucky to find Zach who worked for N3 at the time had one lying around in their yard. Jared Scarbrough in AZ put one on his Super Sport and shared how he made it fit which made my installation much simpler.

Feel free to ask for help if you find one and want to put it on. I can steer you right.

That's a great deal. You could get it stripped and powder coated and have a nice new tower.

Thanks. I will have to take you up on the offer. It was a nine hour trip, but have the tower home safe. It came with a couple nice swivel board racks, too.

I'll post a few pictures tomorrow.

How much did you spend on it? I couldn't find the listing. I paid a $ 1000 for mine.

CJ, I ended up paying $500 + travel costs for the tower. It was in good shape and was sun faded. I have an estimate of $250 to power coat. So I'll probably be all in at ~$850. Depending on condition a $1,000 is a good deal. Bottom line a tower is a must for me as it gets the boards off the deck and great for wakeboarding. It was also important to have an FCT2 as I really like the look and functionality of these towers.

You will likely want to place new plastic pads under them when you mount them to the boat. Nautique Parts in NC sells them. They are a site sponsor and use Discount Code PND to save 10%. If they did not come with the tower, be sure to install backing plates under the deck. While you are at it, go ahead and move your anchor light to the top. Nautique Parts also sells those to0. I would also run some speaker wire while you are mounting the tower.

FYI,

Donald
