Anyone added or seen a wake tower added to a 232?

Post by DeadOn04 »

Have been digging but unable to find an aftermarket installation of a wake tower on a 07 or similar hull. I called cobalt and they didn’t have anything to offer. Have looked at Samson, Monster and Roswell, but the lack of a flat mounting area at the back of the boat seems problematic.

Anyone seen this successfully done?

I would think Samson could do it.

An arch was a factory option. I'm feel like Samson would be the answer. You just need it to mount like the 240 in the picture. I realize this isn't a 232, but the 232 arch looked and mounted in the same way.

A look of what the factory tower looked like. Surely Samson could make this happen.

Thanks for all the replies! I’ll give Samson a call, possibly there is somewhere local that can help install. Samson is saying no orders will be ready until next spring, so not a huge rush. I had been looking for the forward swept rear arch, hadn’t considered an over center option, but it’s probably the best bet.

BBP that is a great find. I’m hoping that may work, but after talking with that dealer they said it may not as the 2012 232 is not the same design as my 07.

Apparently sometime around 08-09 Cobalt took the old 232 hull and designated it the 242. The 232 then got a slightly smaller redesign. I pulled the specs out of the owners manual library at the cobalt library and sure enough my ‘07 232 specs matched up with the 2012 242. After some photo archive digging the 242 has the same curved surface issue I’m looking at and looks identical.

Might be old news for you guys, but helps me open up a better way to find stuff that will fit my 232 that are maybe not quite as old.
