Malibu Boats Revolutionizes Wakeboard Towers Again


Malibu has led the charge in tower design and performance for many years. This year they expand the technological edge over our competitors with the new Illusion G3 gas-spring assisted tower featuring weightless fold down. From the solid foundation of billet aluminum bases to the billet tower support wings backing the 3” stainless steel hoop the Illusion G3 is unshakeable. The Illusion G3 features dual gas spring shocks to assist in creating the feature of weightless fold down. And this tower can be lowered and raise by one person. No need for a partner, it's that easy. The new tower design incredibly blends the best of form and function in creating the most advanced tower on the market today. Each Illusion G3 tower will feature standard Titan spinner/slide-off wakeboard racks.
