I am trying to find some racks for our boards and we do not have a tower, any suggestions? <BR>It is going to be crowded on the boat this year with 3 regular boards, a roam and a wake skate. I need help.

Someone posted up some pictures of his. i think he took those handycap handles you put in bathrooms stalls and screwed them to the rails. Then put on board racks. Maybe he will post up pictures.

There was a pic that some one posted of the racks mounted towards the rear of boat. They were mounted kinda on the side. It looked like they were mounted to a stainless rail simalar to this one.I think the boards hung to the out side a little. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/421422.jpg" alt="Upload">

I had these (Aluminum Slide Mount) mounted on the side of my Sea Ray. Not sure what you're mounting on, but these worked until I got my new boat. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.gatortuff.com/wake.html" target="_blank">http://www.gatortuff.com/wake.html</a>

I found the pictures I was talking about. This seems like a great alternative to tower racks and would get the board out of the floor. <BR> <BR>Here the original thread: <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/362679.html?1156903487" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/362679.html?1156903487</a> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/421461.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/421462.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/421463.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/362679.html?1156903487" target="_blank">http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/362679.html?1156903487</a>

I would rather put my boards there than on the tower.

Mako used to have a cleat mount rack and another rack that would mount to the boat via a plate. I heard bad things about both products and now I don't see them around anymore. If someone bought a rack and had the clamp turned into a flat mount by a machine shop they could put it anywhere. The problem is that you would need to have backing plates made as well. Don't want that thing to tear through the gel-coat.

Sorry forgot about this one. It is a strapless side mount rack. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.thewakesurfshop.com/Board_Racks-2NSANE_Double_Surf_Rack.html" target="_blank">2NSANE Double Surf Rack</a> <BR> <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/422126.jpg" alt="Upload">

Hey guys... those are the racks on my Sanger up above. Yes, they were stainless handicap rails that I bought at Lowe's. They are bolted through with 1/8" stainless backing plates. <BR> <BR>Thanks Chad for finding my original post. I saw this thread the other day, but couldn't find my original post to contribute to the discussion. <BR> <BR>All in all the racks actually worked quite well. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by goerlich on March 08, 2007)

yeah i have seen that same type of setup, even saw a boat that had speakers mounted on the very back like that as well. Not in the transom but on the side off a bar like the rack picture above.
