There are several out there. Pay attention to tube gauge used.

Be sure the pylon is very solidly mounted for pulling tubes. If a tube digs in, it can put a lot of load on the pylon. I use the rear transom eyes for tubing. These don't work as well, but I don't have to worry about pulling my pylon off the boat.

Your best bet is to buy one or have one turned up from solid billet aluminium. Tubular ones will require bracing back to transom. Seen heaps of them bend/break!
Rex marine used to sell good billet ones, not sure if they are still in business though? I heard they had closed up?

I had a removable one. The main pole sat into a seat pedestal and 2 suport bars we t back to each corner of the transom. Made a world of diffrence when pulling the kids on a tube. It kept the rope from getting in the water and splashing them in the eyes and with the rope pulling from a higher point it got the front of the tube UP instead of digging into the water.

I had one of theses on my shadow... Served me well and easy install /removal, they make one with a threaded base

like others have said I would use the pillon only for skiing, wake boarding
For tubing I would use a swivel attached to the transom rings

Dana Marine was the best price for the best quality!I looked forever until i found there's. Mine has had lots of duty with skiing and tubes and good as new shiny and straight. Is Dana Marine even around any more? Marine west industries makes the billet pylons now they must have changed there name? This is the one i have in polished. http://www.marineindustrieswest.com/...b-8939cf542606

That red one when you open the link would look great on your boat I think!! Mine has a sleave that goes down from the flush mount top peace. its just trew bolted on a stringer.That pin just pulls out then you can slide it out. I just lay it down in the gunnel compartment when I dont want it on. if your not sure of the strength of a stringer just enforce with a couple plates of aluminium one on each side same with the top. Good luck.

any more pictures on how you installed the unit? How did you tie it into the deck so it does not get pulled over....
