Pylon for I/O--anything that mounts to transom?

[cheburashka]

I have a '71 I/O with a 140 Merc. It has a very large engine cover with seats on both sides, leaving little room for supports. I'd like to install a higher mount for water skiing and wakeboarding, but I don't want to go all the way to a tower. I've seen pictures of pylons which mount to the top and back of the transom, (center leg on the top, support legs to the back) but I've never seen one that fits the 50 degree angle from the top to the back of my transom. Does anyone have experience with these. Do you have a source for them?

Thanks

most pylons mount to the deck, and have arms back to the transom. there is extreme pressure on these things. also use a low stretch rope, so the backlash, does not injure a passenger in the boat.

i was looking at those too, but thought they were rediculously overpriced. i got a tower for 500 brand new. and its up high enough not to get in the way. sorry if i didn't help.
