As I promised I would report a Ski Pylon option for my new boat using for Tubing. This removable pylon which is about 1 and a half feet long and the brackets are heavily mounted to deck and transom wall. Typical Aftermarket Ski Pylon has warning sign says "Do not use with towables" (tubing) since shear stress of pulling tubing is much greater than pulling skier or wake boarder. However this Pylon has no such a warning label. I have asked my dealer and They told me that we should have no problem to use it for Tubing and matter of the fact they are developed for using for tubing for design criteria. So we gave a shot. We used a Period Ward bird 2 (2 people) tubing and pylon worked very well without the rope getting caught by wake at any speed. Pylon seems very rigid and no sign of flex. I would recommend for anyone.
As sucker as I am I had to get a FW`s new Inflatable Swim Platform Raft. This large raft comes with a 9V air pump and it will inflate very quickly. The raft has a section of mesh section to cool down as well as many cup holders. Everywhere I anchor and use this thing, it becomes instant popular spot to hangout…. We love this thing…
Next boat will have one though. 
but that is a long ways away.
