wakeboard pylon

[zwerv1800]

just bought a 87 comp looking to get a wakeboard pylon are there any suggestions? my ski pylon has a t handle is this removable

i'd check around the classifieds of wakeboarding sites:

www.wakeworld.com
www.wakeboarder.com
and ebay

lots of people have sold their pylons to get towers. i used a hack saw to cut the t's off of the factory pylon. the new pylon covers it up.

I just bought a pylon on ebay fro $150 for my 86 supra. You just have to pound the T out. I sprayed some wd40 on both sides and supported the pylon with my weight the best I could and pounded it out with a good size hammer. It was a breeze.

150 isn't bad.

been looking and watching for deals.. but havn't bit the bullet yet.

It really makes a diff when wakeboarding. So much more room since I have a closed bow. My next step is to get some racks and speakers. I found mine searching different ways under pylons on ebay. Sometimes someone will list it wring and you get a sweet deal.

Sounds good. been looking under various things myself... pylon, tower, pole..wakeboard extenstion... etc..

usually when I see one that hasn't been viewed much, I think maybe I can get a good deal.. then get outbid at the last second.

Oh well. Found one on Craigs list too.. Skylon in good shape with a 4 board rack for $200.. the person never replied back though.... bummer.

one of these days..

ps. did you get a 2 peice or 1 peice?

[Ironcross25]

i got a 2 piece. It is really nice and its strong. I cannot tell the diff between a 2 peice and a 1 peice strength wise but the 2 is super quick to put up and take down.
