I sooo agree with this. My yard never looks bad in the summer but it will get a bit shaggy.

Last summer my neighbors would randomly poke at me about not mowing my yard every couple days, and trimming edges every week so it looks as sharp as theres.

I pointed to the garage and the <ONLY> boat in my neighborhood.

I said with a smile, when the sun is out in OR and i got the day off, i will spend my money on Beer and Gas to float that bad boy right there <pointing at Fierah> long before i pull the string to start my lawn mower.

I'll make sure and repeat this to you this year when I show up at your lake cabin and your painting the dock, mowing the yard, putting mulch down, leveling chairs out, what else did i forget ?


LOL.

Running the grill & icing down the beer!

Those, however, are labors of love.

BAM!!!!!!!! Got that Wolfe right in the throat with that one.

Don't forget-- building surf board racks in the dock shed, working on the lift, putting in landscaping walls, setting up grill shades . . .

Ahhh memories...I can't wait 'til this years jam!

forget one, the mojo ballast upgrade-but that one ranks right up there with icing the beer down.

it was all good-I'd gladly help again this year--for beer

Ballast upgrade is not in the same category with yard work. It can't be ignored while you are out on the water like the long grass can. I'm glad to help too. I like a beer every now and then as well.

Not planning for any work this year! Frankly, I don't have the time to do anything, even if I wanted to.

Todd, Since the Monster racks were so cheap I have been really trying to make them work and after trying several position's on the tower and a little modification to the Monster racks, I think I finally have some racks that are easy to remove and swivel in all the way.

Had to mount them "inside" (kinda reverse of how all other racks are mounted), but they will swivel outwards around the tower, also had to mount the swivel release with the handle up, then did some grinding on the rack swivel for clearance.

If the weather is good and I get enough time, I'll pull the boat out and put the tower up and get some photos

I have this strange feeling, like a stirring in the force, that some of your mods are going to come together nicely in the next 8-9 days. I also see a full day of surfing in your very near future.;)

That is awesome! I look forward to seeing some pics as garage clearance seems to be my biggest obstacle.

I feel the force pulling me south toward Stacy's new LSV. I think it's going to peak around next Fri.

couple pix of the Exile tower speakers and new Monster tower racks

very happy with the racks, the remove with one allen bolt and with little grinding on the bottom of the pivot bar they clear the rack, have to file down the corners or they cut into the tower, with the handles in the up position I actually find them easier to use vrs being down like on my old boat.

racks also lock in a rear facing position so pulling a board from the sundeck or reinstalling a board will be easy

thanks


I now have factory swivel racks to get rid of, actually i need to do a garage sale on all my xtra gear

nicely done!

daze,

Are you still having to the racks off to clear the door? If so where are you taking them apart at?

What mirror arm do you have that was shown in a pic hanging from the tower? You have to take it off to drop the tower getting in the garage?

I like what Daze has done, understand why and agree that they look great, but "way better" than the 2013 Sklon swivel racks? In what regards? Looks, functionality, something else?

From my experience with Chase's 2013 LSV, the 2013 racks:

-Are ugly as sin; they have sharp edges, and look like an afterthought, not an OEM piece

-Hit the tower; regardless of adjustment, they still hit the tower

-Don't swivel all the way in, and don't lock straight back. Super annoying.

-The locking pins vibrate lose and cause the racks swivel unexpectedly.


I'm glad I had a chance to play with them on Chase's LSV, because I'd be upset if I bought them for my OBV.

These Monster racks have me rethinking modding my Roswell swivel racks to fit the OZ tower, and just going the Daze route!

If his racks have the black handled pins that you pull out to swivel the rack vs the pull up knobs, then he doesn't have the redesigned 2013 racks. I haven't had any of the issues he has encountered with the new racks.

I think they are 2013, they have pull up knobs;

(Didn't have a direct pic, I cropped these 2 because they were all I had)

Yep, those are the same I have, but they shouldn't be hitting the tower or swinging in without pulling up on the knob.

I dunno. Even if they didn't, I still think they look cheesy.

I do have to remove the racks to clear the garage door, they remove by taking out the single allen screw, the clamp stays on the tower. the clamp and bar have this multi point star pattern that locks it in place when its tightend down.

mirror arm is allso removed for lower the tower, it removes with no tools needed--got it at Bakes marine i think.

I remove everything off the tower-speakers, mirror, and racks cause my wife or daughter actually lower the and raise the tower while im tightening the 2 bolts which I do from standing outside the boat.

Leave your Rosewells on the outback since at $126 each the Monsters are a screaming deal. That way both boats are racked and ready to go.

Lookin' good, Stacy. Seems like you have it all worked out.

dont count on it being a couple beer job. heck I think a couple of those speakers will be a 3 beer job alone. They are tucked in there hard

Oh darn. I'm not really up for a 3-4 beer x 6 speakers job. Then again, the new LSV deserves it so I'll just have to make the sacrifice.

@Moombadaze, did you consider or try the fixed factory board racks? In pics that I've seen it looks like they do not extend much above the tower if at all when the tower is folded. It also looks like when the tower is folded the racks will drop down just aft of the windshield so clearance in that aspect won't be a problem.

With our HOA being such jerks, I'm willing to try just about anything (including no racks, as last resort) to keep the ease of putting the boat in the garage.

Todd, i did look into the factory fixed racks after getting the boat home and finding out the factory spinners would not work, I also looked at other brands of fixed racks and quick disconnect racks, Turned to Monster tower as ive had a couple of there products on the last boat and liked them and they had the best price at $130 per rack and they swiveled too. I got to use them this weeked and they worked perfectly-takes about 15-20 seconds to install one rack after pulling out of the garage. Very happy with the racks.
