advantage of a tower or pylon

[bteat88]

i dont either on my boat. will that effect me?

It would help a little or a lot depending on your skill level. Helps you get more hand time in the air

I have a pylon extention on my boat, but no tower. I do notice a big difference when I am in the air. Since most of my jumps are only 4-5 feet, its not much, but when you get better you will notice a huge difference.

more hang time

When you're a beginner it will help pull you out of the water; other than that, hang time is the only other real advantage i can think of, and it's been mentioned.

i had a bayliner with nothing and couldnt really do much. the boat would just pull me down on a jump

I used to ride on my friends boat which was like a 20 ft bayliner or something. They didn't have a pylon or a rack setup system, they just attached the pull line to some hook thing on the back of there boat. I struggled to get even 3ft of air, and when I first started out had a difficult time getting pulled out of the water. Now that I ride with the line and tower, I get pulled out much easier, and get 2x,3x more air then my friends boat.

a pylon and tower will pretty much do the same thing..just increase your hangtime

[AccidentProne]

Normally i ride behind an Air Nautique but when i dont i go behind a boat without a tower or pylon and if the boat still throws a good wake the tower didn't effect me too much

I've seen guys pulling 360's behind a Bayliner without a tower or pylon. It's all in your form, technique, and ability.
