Ski/Wakeboard Mount or Pylon for I/O?

[FunkyAquaholic]

Have an 19 foot 88 VHull. No current ski attachment point. Its a stern drive volvo penta which only matters in the process of mounting a ski pylon/mount. The transom has a bimini cover that extends from under the cushion from the back so no mounting directly on the top of the transom. Rather not just mount an O-Ring transom mount to the side of the engine but what are my other options without getting in the way too much and don't want to put a tower on it. Pics and/or mounting descriptions with the suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
W

well your only option really is to put a tower on it, otherwise you will just have to ski without the bimini up when skiing or wakeboarding if you are concidering a pylon .....

this is the simplest solution, mount dead center above the outdrive, if not possible, mount one on each side and use a floating tow harness.
