WTB Retractable Ski Pylon Challenger 1800

[Gunsrunner]

Looking to get a OEM ski pole for 1997 challenger 1800.

What happen to yours?

 

[Gunsrunner]

It didn't come with one, no hole or anything.
I think they were an option on the 1997 model(5600-5601)sucks!
I have tried Babbitts and Steel Dreams and Brp, but no one can supply!!

 

[kustomkarl]

That's odd...My 1997 Challenger (5603) single 787...has one.

It isn't anything complicated, but the aluminum is kinda pricey if you wanted to fabricate one.

If you buy my Pylon,....I'll throw in the whole jet boat...lol

 

[Gunsrunner]

That could end up being the only answer, the good thing is, i got heaps of ali and about 30 welders at work at the moment.
A good picture of one fitted may help!

 

[Gunsrunner]

Stiil haven't sold it then i gather!

 

[kustomkarl]

I Haven't tried really...just people asking about it. I have like 3 people e-mail ing me back and forth...All seem interested...no money yet, you know how that goes. I almost hate to sell it ...But I spend all my time on the new 200 speedster...and I can only run 1 at a time...(my wife keeps reminding me)

 

[Gunsrunner]

Yeah no what thats like(wife reminding):ack:
If i can't get one, i might go for a monster tower instead.
Even have 40mm polished stainless at work too!!!
What a delema, having to chose which one to go out on,...LOL. I dont think that would be a hard decision!!:rofl:

 

[kustomkarl]

My wife say's " if I don't get rid of some of my toy's, she's gonna leave"...Im gonna miss that girl...:rofl:

I too am missing my pylon, it wasn't in the boat when I got it. Any pictures would help. I am "arm waving" one in, my friend is a machinist and is turning one for me on the lathe. I am curious how close we get by guessing, to the original.

You ever get that pylon made? How’d it work out?
