Ski Pole?

[Acer2428]

Hey guys,

Bought an '81 checkmate. It has the mounts on the transom as well as the hole in the bench seat and the mount on the floor. I'm just missing the poles/setup.

Anyone know a good place/good brand?

I tried looking on ebay and din't really find what I was looking for.

Thanks,

Sam

I'm willing to buy the whole thing, but I'd like to use the mounts already drilled in the transom and floor.

$200 for a few pipes and some pins just seems ridiculous to me. I might try to fab it myself if nothing comes up. Can someone with a setup like this take some pictures for me please?

$200 is rather cheap.

I will be pulling mostly tubes anyways. Looks like a harness is my best bet. $8 is sure better than $200.

tubes better with harness. we never had poles when we were kids, also used tractor tubes, much cheaper than these $300 toys, reqiured some skill to stay on.

I have the tube from the other boat, but the other boat is/was an ib/ob.
