So I pull my family on tubes in the summer and the rope splash's on the water making it not so fun. I'm looking for a Ski pole for Champion bass boats. Pics would be nice.

Saw those but fig they did not work so well?
Ive watched them being used on the water and it looks like they work good. Maybe do some homework on youtube.
BigMouth - Loved the TurboSwing but $700 :( The pylons are what Im looking for but cant decide on one that uses seat hole or one with 3 separate bases. Reading suggests NOT using inflatables... so worried about that. Love to here from someone using on now.
James...everything I have read says NOT to use the pylon thingy for tubing. It is OK for skiing. The harness with the float is recommended for tubing. I don't recall the reasoning, but the increased resistance from the tubes probably is a main factor. Skis would offer less pull.
If the aft deck of a 198 is anything like that of a 191, it's not reinforced well because of the span across the live well. I could see the load of tubing causing trouble. I'd have to have a lot of problems with the harness float thing before I'd give up on that.

I've pulled the kids on skis and tubes and everything in between all the time using the harness on the tie downs along with a float/swivel in the harness. If you use the tripod for skiing you'll need to attach the two arms to either side of the motor for stress relief. Pretty sure Champ203/aikenyoungun had one on their 203.
Thanks all guess its the float thingy :(
