Ski pylon fitting question?

I have an '90 17ft boston whaler and i want to add a ski pylon to keep the tow rope above the engine. Problem is i dont wanna spend the money on one and it not fit correctly, so that being said anyone have any ideas or perhaps have fit a ski pylon on a boston whaler? i know its not a ski boat! but its all i have so dont be mean. Any ideas would help! thanks!Ski pylon fitting question?
I purchesed a ski pole called INSANITY PYLONS! This pole requires no hard mounting to your boat and can be installed and removed with in 5 minutes. It is also designed to fit any boat and is fairly priced when you consider no mounting fees! check it out

i do agree mate. i checked out the insanity pylons website and browsed their faq page and found that they also have a modular wakeboard tower that doesn't require any drilling. right after i sent an email to them, they said it's designed for use on fishing boats with center consoles like many boston whalers. the way it apparently works is that it uses an "arch" (like a U turned upside down) with two straps going to the front of the boat and two straps going to the stern of the boat. the two straps in the front go around the center console, so you dont have to worry about the strap going over your windscreen. the ski rope just connects at the top of the arch. go to their web site and send them an instant message from their contact page and ask them to send you a picture of their tower, or wake board pylons. the thing i really liked about their site is that they had a video to show you how it works and and a couple videos of it in use. its worth a shot.Ski pylon fitting question?
I have had the same dilemma as you but with a different boat! The best thing is to check in with your local marina/marine store. They may have done a similar installation, so they can give you tips. Also, check your area for boat shows. They are a great place to meet boat owners %26amp; skiers who can help you out. Local water-ski groups in your area might be able to help out too.
i'm pretty sure those are sold by transom configuration. look and see which one matches the transom of your boat.
