A few people have done it. Here's a recent discussion in the 19' boat section https://jetboaters.net/threads/2016-sx190-wakeboard-tower.12365/

I think it depends...are you looking for function or appearance. Some of the towers that look really cool don't work very well and vice versa. On our first SX230 we had a plain jane monster tower. It collapsed and fit over the bimini. It was rock solid and very functional. When we swapped our factory AR240 tower out for an aerial tower we found that it looks really good and has some nice features but its not near as rigid and sturdy as the monster was. Its a sizeable investment so I would prioritize what you are looking for and then pick a tower based on that. I am not 100% satisfied with my new tower but its better than the flimsy stock tower we had.

@CDENsomnia, do you remember which tower you had on your SX230?

In fact, I have the same tower as @CDENsomnia

Here is what I did.

It worked extremely well for us. However, that was my 3rd tower install and I will tell you it is not trivial if you want to do it right.
Many people will tell you it is easy. I do not necessarily agree, but whatever, some people get offended.

I believe it was an MT1. That thing is not pretty but man it was solid!

I also agree on the difficulty of install. I hired waketowerpro to come install mine and just watching them install made it well worth the money to have a pro do it. @Speedling has the same tower and I think he installed his so maybe he will comment on install as well.

Installing isn't hard if you've done it a time or two. I hadn't so it took me a good while, lol
I still need to drill oit the tower and put the light on top.
