Pylon for pulling Tubes?
I'm looking for a pylon I can mount to the back deck of my boat for PULLING
TUBES. I can only find ones that are recommended for skiing and wakeboarding. My guess is because the drag from tubes is much stronger so the pylons I have found are not suitable. Most are deckmounted and some have support arms as well. I have a Chaparral 220si with a "ski eye" on the back that works great for sking and wake-boarding. But when I pull individual tubes with my lightweight kids the ropes often catch in the wake. It sprays a lot of water and also makes for a rough ride. If I pull more than one tube it can get dangerous. I want to elevate the eye. That's why I'm looking for a pylon. Does anyone know of a product that I could mount on the back portion of my boat deck? (just outside the transom). It would have to bolt through the fiberglass deck -- I can also add some aluminum for fiberglass backing. Are the warnings for current products legit or are they just going overboard to avoid lawsuits? I know the situation is worse for longer pylons. A stubby 24" one would be great if I could find it. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks! |
