Carolina Skiff Ski Pull – Custom Aluminum Ski Tow

Custom Ski Pull for Carolina Skiff 21

This Carolina Skiff ski pull was built for a 21-foot Skiff used for tubing and family rides. We designed the tow bar to sit above the motor, which keeps the tow line up and out of the prop wash. Because we build each ski pull to fit a specific boat, the legs land in strong spots on the deck and transom. The result is a clean setup that looks factory and works well for skis, wake boards, and tubes.

Aluminum Construction and Finish Choices

We fabricate every ski pull from 1.5″ schedule 40 aluminum pipe. This size gives more strength than 1.25″ pipe while still keeping the weight low. Our standard finish is bright anodized aluminum, which holds up in salt water and is easy to clean. However, you can also choose a powder coated ski tow if you want the frame to match your T top or leaning post. Our custom ski tow product page lists finish and upgrade options.

Clearance, Motor Travel, and Swim Ladder Use

During each build, we check motor travel from lock to lock and through the full trim range. This step keeps the Carolina Skiff ski pull clear of the motor and trim rams. We also make sure the swim ladder still works, since many riders climb in and out of the boat there. As a result, the tow bar does its job without getting in the way of normal boating.

Upgrade Options for Ski Pulls

Many customers add rod holders for trolling or storage when the boat is not pulling a tube. Some owners also ask for a grab rail near the ladder to make re-boarding easier. In addition, we can make the frame removable with knobs, so you can pull the tower off for storage. Our Ski Tows category shows several past projects with different layouts and options.
