 Topic: taller pylonPosted: July-12-2017 at 6:35pm |

Hi,
I wanted to add a 'skylon' style pylon to my 88 2001SN for the kids. RIght now I have a flight pipe setup with a removable pole from 'board/boat specialties inc in greenville SC' but they appear to be out of business. I need another 'ring' as well as a full nose strap. It appears that it would be cheaper to acquire a second hand skylon/10 foot pole but I don't know how that would work for installation with the 'bent' main ski pylon in the boat. (I assume a normal install is that the taller pylon is dropped directly over the main pylon but that wont work here... Any suggestions besides don't do it? Much appreciated. |

Ignore Pete.
You can use a normal slip over style extended pylon (skylon, fly high, etc) on the common bent cc style pylon with the ball topper (87.5+). The pylons do not extend to the floor so the bend is not a player. |

You can slide any of the common extended pylons (for a 2.5" pylon) right over the stock 88 pylon. It does not have a ring/finger Pete. Absolutely no need for the SDBM.

I think you should buy another boat Pete, something from the 90's with a gt40 maybe. Then you'd experience a newer boat and have a different boat for each week the ice is out...

What parts are missing from your flight pipe exactly?? You should have (2) brackets attached to a sleeve the pylon slips into, (1) bow strap and (1) ratchet strap + a set pin to keep the pylon from rotating.

I would probably just get a used slip over set up if I was you but that being said I do have a flight pipe I would likely part out if you need a clamp or something relatively shippable.

I purchased a bow strap several years ago for my BI Fly High from Skylon, Inc. It worked great.

Good morning Joe,
I may be interested in your flite pipe if you decide to part with it while. Shipping would probably be the showstopper. Please let me know. Keith |
