Looking to buy new or used a factory Grady ski pylon like attached. If someone doesn’t have a used one for sale where can I find an OEM one? I believe it’s the same unit used from the 33x down to a 18x.

I had a friend that wanted this on his non Grady CC. The Grady dealer here in Jacksonville wouldn’t sell him one. It’s basically a 2.5in AL solid machined down to what you see. There is about 2in of 1.25-1.5in diameter threaded section that screws into a stainless bolt welded to a backing plate mounted under the deck. The took pics and dimensions to a local machine shop and they made one for him.

Grady White still offers what appears to be the same looking ski pylon today on their 180 Fisherman model. I'd call up your local Grady White dealership and see if you can order one, which again if they're still using them on their current boats, I imagine you'd be able to order one brand new for yours. I'm not sure what brand of ski pylon Grady White uses, they might tell you and give you the part number or they might not. But if you're looking for an OEM specific one, it might be a bit of a chore as opposed to just buying another brand, unless you get lucky. You could also look at something like the one in the second link, I imagine it's also likely going to be half the price of the one from GW, and it looks somewhat similar as well. Good luck

The one in the second link looks very close to the GW factory one and I’m tempted to try to see if I could make it work if I had a support bracket fabricated. I need to get my new to me 3.3 f250 mounted and then do some measuring if a 3 point could work too.
