A support bracket and method for securing and supporting a superstructure for
towing
persons behind a vehicle such as a boat is disclosed. The support structure has
an arcuate face with a length several times that of a tubular member of the superstructure
so that the arcuate face provides support over a portion of the tubular member
and so that the face mates with the tubular member. The bracket is removably attached
and secured to the vehicle and to the superstructure so that it may be removed,
or replaced without altering or damaging the superstructure, and so that weld seams
are not used. The arcuate face and a second face of the support structure that
secures to the boat are set an angle provides a properly erect angle to the superstructure
when the bracket, boat, and superstructure are secured.
