Default High Mount system for towing a tube..

Can anyone recommend any product that will support towing a tube, (or sometimes multiple tubes with adults) etc..? I've been looking into installing a wakeboard tower but have since reconsidered after hearing the cons of using a wakeboard tower to pull tubes.
The regular rope attachment for the tube on the boat is quite low and I find the rope is underwater for the most part and a guy cant have too much fun with the tube because of it. I've boughten that floating ball thing that goes inbetween the boat and the tube to keep the rope afloat but I would prefer a tower or another idea if someone had a high mount idea?
I do find it funny how they say to not tow from the wakeboard tower for fear of getting spider cracks in the fibre glass etc, but that factory mount water ski attachment on the boat is held on by drilling though the fibre glass and then putting the two washers on before the nuts. Not even a backing plate to give it extra support. I was surprised.
I've looked into installing a "tripod" in the back of the boat but I am not keen on loosing all of that interior space in the boat because of the side bars. I guess if thats what it comes down to I can make it work.

Does anyone have any insight on using wakeboard towers to pull tubes and what kind of tower? Appreciate the info...

Thanks guys..
