You should be able to attach a simple ski eye on the transom. The part itself should only be about twenty bucks, but I don't know about installation. Or why not just put a tower on it? Very Happy

I will end it here. Wakeboarding is not a cheap sport as everyone knows. You arent going to find anything thats "cheap", I hate to say it but you are going to have to cut loose and actually buy something possibly expensive and you will get the results out of it.

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

ok thank you, i know its not a cheap sport, i just wanted to know if there are like any of those not top brand pole things that icould use that arnt as expensive as others, because i mainly ride cable, and this would only be a thing used every once in a while, so it wouldnt be worth it to spend ALOT of money on it, you know what i mean??? if not, sorry

man, you got a bashing, unfairly if I might add, thoug I thought tha same thing at first. But saying that you ride te cable explains it. I guess people should not jump to conclusions...

But I'll try to help you out,

That boat should have some sort of center tow point, jus took the rope to that.
If it doesn't hook it to the transom eyes with a ski bridle, they got em at wal-mart.

Don't try to put a tower on that thing.

By the way, nice photos, if that is you at your web page on wakepics.

i wasnt dissing you, it just seemed like anyone with that many posts would have seen many topics and pics of boats with pylons and towers. Since this is not the case my bad. I must say ive never heard of someone who rides cable that has NEVER ridden behind a boat. I bet that gets expensive, well good luck!!!

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

i know, i have ridden behind boat, not much, but i didnt exactly know the terms for what everything was, like tower, and pylons, i just rode it, didnt pay attention to that stuff, plus i mostly see pics of that stuff, but dont know what some of it does. when im on this site, im mostly in the other forums, because since i dont ride boat, i wouldnt know anything in this one, so i usually stay in the others, so i still dont know much about it, i just wanted some info on how to do it on that kind of boat...and about the expensive part...i get a pass for 3 months for cable, so it works out, if i rode boat it would be kinda of alike, becuase i would be paying for gas alot, and the maintenice of the boat, right?

hey, people are harsh......don't worry about a tower.....there should be something on the transom or you can see if a pylon will attatch anywhere in the seating area....check out overton's to see if they have something that would work.....maybe for a few hundred bucks you could get something that would work better than the transom eye or a ski bridle ....but then you have to get it installed ....the boat looks like it's wake should be big ...at the least....don't worry about all the haters

allthough im gonna say a tower wont look good on that u can get a good one from joystick for like 700 bucks and a pylon might be about the same

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

ya, thanx you guys, but im not looking to spend that kind of money right now, since i ride cable, and not boat, this was going to be for every once in a while, but i think there are these rings on the back, there really low to the water, but ill try that and see if it works....thanx for all the help though
