Recommendations for a good ski tower for 2018 SSRFBXP? Purchased boat used and it did not have one from factory.

I am in the same position in needing an aftermarket tower, we have a 2018 22SFX and the fence is positioned all the way back so no rear deck to bolt to. Bennington offers a pylon at $750 but I would really like a tower that I could mount some speakers to as well. Let me know if you hear of anything please.Recommendations for a good ski tower for 2018 SSRFBXP? Purchased boat used and it did not have one from factory.
Found a tow bar that we are very happy with. Made in Laguna Cal at H2O Sports. Direct bolt up on our 2018 SSRFBXP without any modifications. Was able to remove the two small access covers one each side of center-toon transom. I did add two aluminum c-channels on the underside to give added support. Had two adults and a small child in the tube and it didn't flex or move at all. Also makes a nice rack for the towable or hanging towels and other items to dry.

A good product for sure. We looked closely at the Turbo Swing and have used them before. Ended up that we just like the extra hand rail, rack storage of the tower we installed. It also serves as a great place to slide to towable so it doesn't take up interior deck space when not in use. can't go wrong with either.I would go with a Turbo Swing. That’s what I had on my last Bennington and it is also on my new one. Check them out.
I do like the look of the h2o sports version but if you read on it they specifically say for skiing or wakeboard only. Does a tube put that much more pressure on one? Anyone have any other recommendations? Thanks all it will go on a '21 22ssrcx
Another big factor is the driver.Tubes actually create SIGNIFICATNLY more drag. Hence, the various ratings for tow bars, turbo swings, pylons, etc... Not to say it wont handle it well. Might depend more on “how it is mounted and what it is mounted to”
The question you need to ask is if it’s rated for pulling tubes, not the load rating. Hopefully it is!When I asked my dealer about the Ski Pylon Capacity (26LX), he stated after calling Bennington that the load capacity was 2,500lbs. Certainly enough to pull a 3 person tube!?
