you guys are gonna be able to tell im new at this sport, but is there no device that simply extends the existing metal tow piece in the aft in place of an expensive tower?

www.flitepipe.com and the Fly High V-drive pole are options.

But, I'm not sure I'd call them inexpensive . Plus, the upward pull is just one benefit of a tower. Perhaps an equally significant benefit is getting stuff up, out of the boat and out of the way. By the way, welcome to the sport and WW!

You basically just want a pylon, right?
