Hi guys. Wondering if anybody out there has successfully (or unsuccessfully) tried using a ski pylon on a pontoon? I'm not talking about the round bar type that cradles the motor, but rather the "tripod" design. I have a 2008 Sun Tracker with a 60 hp motor and would like to get the rope out of the water, but don't want to spend the $500 or more for the round bar version. I called a local Bass Pro Shop and talked to their boat manager and he said they sell a lot of these for pontoons, but I've never personally seen one. This version is $235, which is much better on the pocketbook, and with my small motor I don't see creating a tremendous amount of torque.
In advance, I'll say "thanks but no thanks" to hooking it to the back of my toons, etc... I've done that, but the kids really enjoy tubing and I want to make the most of what I've got and getting the rope out of the water would make the experience much better.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
Dwight
