THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I had a chance to check them out at the Spring Boat Show here in Michigan. The idea and construction are PERFECT! If they made a matching Ski rack I'd absolutely pony up the cash to have these on my boat.
Here are a few pics I snapped;

You can't really tell from the picture, but they rotate a full 180 degrees. They clamp onto the tower cross bars.
I sae those at the PDX show. They are sweet. Little spendy for this guy though.
That's what they look like on my XLV. Just got them mounted this weekend.
Someone define 'spendy' for me since I can't seem to find the price.Quote:

I didn't ask the dealer for a price; but doesn't it stand to reason that they could order a pair with an existing boat order, remove them from the boat, lower the invoice price, and sell them to you? Obviously there would be no mark-up in this (which is I'm sure why the retail price is so high; so the dealers are self accessorizing their boats). Thats what I'd try to con my dealer into doing, lol.
Then the dealer would have a wakeboat with no racks and 4 ugly holds drilled into the tower.Quote:

The main feature I like about these is that they can rotate in 180 degrees and lock in that position. My current racks have a quick release, so instead of rotating them into the boat when I tow I just pop them off.

C'mon how many boards do you guys need to haul anyways? LOL Time to try a new sport. I'm never gonna convert you guys am I ? :-)
I'm definately getting a Skyski in the fall/winter. This is my first wakeboat so I'm just going to try to get "decent" at wakeboarding and surfing this season.Quote:
