Factory Ski Pylon

[98Nautique]

I am looking to purchase or swap our factory extended pylon for a factory pylon of regular height. Here is a picture of our boat with the extended pylon.

I am not sure if this will work for your boat or not but I just noticed an "open box" one on Nautiqueparts.com for $200. If you go that route don't forget the 10% PND discount code.

I did see that yesterday and am certainly considering it. I am just not sure what to do with the pylon I have. It is actually worth some money....http://www.n3boatworks.com/eshopprod..._Coated___.htm

Still looking

I had the same pylon on my 99' also. It must have been a popular option then. It does work well for keeping the cover tented, otherwise its a pita for shortening the rope. I used a carabeaner and a short section of rope.

Interested, PM sent

Who actually uses those pylons anymore anyways?

People with actual water sport skills using gear (or no gear) thats requires strength, balance and effort to ride across the water on!! Probably hard for a "surfer" or "wakeboarder" type to relate to, lol

I'm interested in purchasing or possible trade.

Here are a few pictures of the pylon. Is a pylon that is straight swappable with a pylon that has the slight bend like mine and vice versa? Thanks for the help.

That is kinda harsh, a lot of surfers and some wakeboarders have the skills and resources to overload a boat, and know how to drive it, to put waves and wakes on the maximum amount of smooth water in the least amount of time.

Every now and then I would like to have an extended pylon. But because about 80% of the time my boat is running a course it would be rather obnoxious.

Anyone know whether a straight pylon can be swapped with a pylon that has the slight bend?

I tried to install a straight one from a 96 ski into my 99' ski. It didn't line up correctly.

I still have mine for sale. It has the bend like yours. Should be an ideal fit in your boat. Am I missing something?
