Looking for a pylon that can tow a tube...

I have a 1972 Crestliner tri hull 15 1/2' boat that I am using to pull my kids around on a tube. It works alright but the transom hooks are too low and the rope gets caught under the wake. I have been trying to find a pylon for the boat but all the ones I have looked at say that they are not recommended for towables. Are there any made that can handle it? I don't want to sink a fortune into a tower for such an old boat (plus it would look stupid most likely).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bryan

Not much you can really do except buy another set of transom u-bolts and mount them higher up. You don't want to use a ski pylon as it creates a large danger to the boat occupants if the tube digs into the water.
