There are a
few main reasons that set us apart from the competition: versatility,
compatibility, affordability, and service.
First, Versatility. When we created the Insanity Pylon, we pioneered a radically new concept that uses a portable base and an adjustable support system so you never have to permanently alter anything on your boat. Set-up is quick and easy, and doesn't require any tools. The Insanity Pylon comes ready to go, right out of the box! Second, Compatibility. Our pylons are engineered to be completely universal and will fit ANY ski boat, plus it doesn't require any permanent or lengthy installation! We believe that if you want a pylon on your boat, you shouldn't have to sacrifice the value of your boat in the process. You can set up our Original Insanity Pylon for two different heights (6' & 7') to fit your style. It's like having two pylons in one! Third, Affordability. Our Original Insanity Pylon is by far the best bang for your buck for any brand. For less than you would pay for a traditional pylon, you can get a complete pylon system that is easier to use, stronger, and is completely universal compared to other so called "universal" pylons that require cutting and drilling holes into your boat. By using high-strength T6 aircraft aluminum, our pylons are less expensive, and built to last a lifetime and come with a full warranty! Fourth, Service. We believe that service isn't just nine-to-five. If you call our customer support team, we'll be more than happy to answer your call any time 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We believe that since you are loyal enough to buy our products, the least we can do is answer your questions on your schedule. Back to top |

My boat came with a base plate that was for the boat's original stock pylon. Can I use the existing base plate instead of the Insanity Pylon's base? Do you sell any adapters? | ||||||||||||||||||
|
Yes, you can
use an adapter to make it possible to use your boat's existing stock
base plate instead of the one that comes with the Insanity Pylon,
however it will cost extra. The Insanity Pylon's warranty does not
cover damage caused by use of any adapters other than those made by
Insanity Pylons, inc., and consequently, does not cover incidental
damage to your boat's existing base plate. For us to find the best
adapter to fit your need, we'll need some accurate measurements, and
some photos of the plate to make sure the adapter works properly. Back to top |

I lost a part that goes
to my Insanity Pylon. Where can I get another one? |
||||||||||||||||||
|
If you ever lose a part to your Insanity Pylon, you can purchase
replacement parts here. Insanity Pylons carry a full unconditional
replacement on
all carabiners, snap hooks, tiedowns, and thumb screws, should they
ever
become worn out or broken. We want you to play safe, that's why we
offer
this free service (may require worn part in exchange, shipping charges
may
apply). Back to top |

How strong is the
Insanity Pylon? Is it strong enough to tow a slalom skier? How about a
tube? |
||||||||||||||||||
|
The Insanity Pylon is actually very strong. The
Insanity Pylon is only approved for wakeboarding and other medium-load
water sports (double-skis, kneeboarding, etc), and
is not approved for slalom sking, tubing, towing watercraft, or other
high-load conditions. The majority of the tow-load (skier)
is placed on the long ratcheting strap that goes from the front of the
boat to the top of the pylon. The minimum breaking strength on the
ratcheting strap is 1500 lbs, which is more than sufficient for most
skiers. During regular and excessive abuse of our test pylon,
we have successfully towed many heavy items you wouldn't even think of
towing with a pylon (of which we'll omit for liability purposes)
without
the tow straps showing any signs of strain (do not
exceed a
towing load (capacity) of 250 lbs, doing so will void warranty and can
cause
a very dangerous situation leading to serious injury or death). Let's
just
say we proudly abuse it regularly on loads in excess of 400+ lbs at
high
speed from the highest tow line of each pylon (we still have yet to
break
one). If you would like to replace your one-inch ratcheting strap with
a
much stronger two-inch ratcheting strap, you can do so by visiting our replacement
parts section inside our online
store. Strength Chart
