Hey guys I'm looking at trading into a boat with a ski pylon right forward of the motor. (Blue water direct drive) I'm wondering first how durable is the ski pole? And then I see these extended poles with cables to the front. I read conflicting articles about what they can handle. Me and my brothers do some light wake boarding, lots of knee board and some skiing. 2 of us are 300lb. Can the stock ski pylon handle us and what are the rules with an extended one? Nothing crazy far outside the wake?
I may get a tower eventually but the pole seems easier to store the boat and tarp it. Since it removes in seconds. I just done know if it can handle us. I wouldn't want to do any damage to the stringers I assume where it mounts.
