Re: 83 galaxie ski pylon or wakeboard tower
For skiing, I'd definitely NOT put on a tower or pylon. The boat will perform better with tow point that is lower - it's more stable if the skier is out wide, and keeps the bow down so its faster to plane. A pylon might be more convenient for rope handling, and in with some boats keeps the tube rope from dragging in the water but generally any pylons specifically say NOT to use them to tow inflatables. Too much load when a potentially very heavy tube with riders is tied to the boat. (a skier or boarder has to let go if the loads are too great

)
