Will this tow bar work on my SS?

[bunker108]

I spotted this and am wondering if anyone has made something like this work on a Starcraft. Thanks!

Hey Bunker, never seen one of those before, how the heck do you mount it and where?.

You could make it work but it will occupy allot of real estate and will need re-enforcement spots on the decking.

I use a swivel-eze tripod ski tow in mine

For the main post floor base, when I restored the boat, I bridged a box between the stringers using aluminum L
and rivets and 3/4" marine x 2 glued and screwed for a 1.5" base. for starters. Affixed to this piece where the tow base attaches to the deck is another 3/4" block of marine ply as an additional "nailer". When the base was SS screwed in, the screws has a total of 2.75" of grab, but the load is spread out since it all is attached longnitudinal with the stringers.

The two back legs bases are supported in similar fashion to the deck to absorb the initial vertical load.

In other words, the boat pulls the skier.

I was thinking it might work attached to the bulkhead of the splashwell. I will need to take some measurements and go take a look at it to see if it is even feasible.
