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 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.

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
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.
