I have a 2021 195S. My kids are getting into some water sports now and there is not enough room in the boat for the boards we might carry. I am looking for a decent tower rack to carry some boards for us. Specifically a Zup Board and maybe a kneeboard or wake board. I currently have a set of skis in the locker and the wakeboard under the port seat area. A rack will make it easier to change boards out on the water and also give us some room in the boat. Looking for something not to pricy but not garbage either. My understanding is that the tower bars are 2 3/8 in the front and 1 7/8 in the rear. Please confirm if this is correct too. Thank you everyone for the input. I have a link for one that I was looking at on amazon.

My first set of racks were similar. Those will work but keep in mind, due to the bolt hole configuration- with the angle of our towers you will not be able to get them level to the water.

I ended up changing mine out for the monster tower racks. A bit more pricey but I can level the rack with the water.

Below is a pic of the old racks bottom pic - you can see the angle. Then one of the new racks level - top pic but no boards in it.

I had one of those that you posted and it was fine but I built my barn door too narrow to fit the boat in with the racks attached. It was ok, worked fine but the Monsters are easily removed and adjustable.

With both options they give you an assortment of inserts to dial in whatever size tube your tower is

I bought a tower mirror and wakeboard rack from reborn, The quality seems good and the price was right.

I have a krypt rack and a reborn rack- prefer the reborn. Only kept the krypt because they charge a ridiculous restocking fee. Reborn was about $100 cheaper and I don’t notice a difference in quality between the 2. Much nicer to have a place to store the boards out of the way.
