Started a new thread as many were interested in what I would find when I visited Monster Tower's facility in Alpharetta, GA today.
I worked with Kenton ([email protected]) on email first and he took care of all my questions today. Very nice guy, very knowledgeable of the rack, let me take pics and measurements, etc. I tried to haggle for a Moomba owners discount - even showed him Ed's deal with Seadek - but didn't have any luck. Mention you read this thread and see if you can get a few $$ off as I told him quite a few seemed interested.
Despite my poor negotiation skills, I have one in the garage! I checked out the Z-5 Cargo when I bought my boat, tried to get one on my OBV and have been on Zegm's LS with the Z-5. I think these cargo tops are great due to their versatility for holding all the water toys from skis, to kneeboards, surfboards, wakeboards and even the dreaded tube. I keep my boat in a cradle lift with cables and was looking for the rotating racks as I have seen people get racks and boards tangled in their cables. I like the cargo rack option as it's one less thing to worry about when docking for us.
In my opionion, the Monster Cargo rack appears to be a very high quality and a tough competitor for the Z-5. Stainless construction for the frame and Great Lakes custom canvas (same used on my factory bimini). Nice design for the locking pins and smooth pivot action to drop the top and get to your gear. If the customer service is as good after the sale as it was prior, I anticipate being a happy customer.
I purchased the Medium size for my '08 OBV. It is 48" side to side and 67" front to back. Looks easy to install and will try to remember to document with pics. The pics below are from the Monster Tower showroom today.
