There is no telling what changes have been made to this old girl over the many years she was on the water. Can someone tell me the height of the top of the ring to the floor in an unmolested Mustang ski pole? I am setting the ski pole and I want to get it right! Thanks a million. Sorry crappy low light pic.

I would be surprised to find five '68's all with the exact same pylon height. Just turn the finger toward the dash and install.

That pylon looks different too. How about a measurement from the gunnel to the top of the ring on a 69?

I just measured my 68 (ford 289), 32.5" from the top of the floor to the top of the ring.

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

I turned it around after looking at the flyer. Its going to need a spacer to fit in the later model engine frame pole clamp.
I have an insane 10 foot pole the PO had made for barefooting. It might work out better cutting it down and using it. Its installed in the below pic. Thanks scootdogydog

Just wanted to say thanks again for the help. Here is the new pole installed and ready to measure the floor template.
