Thoughts? Wakeboard / Surfboard Rack replacement - opinions , experiences?

Excuse the bike wheel in the way, doing this by myself.

I’m not so sure that I’ll be able to get the boat in and out of the garage with the rack in this location. I know that these measurements are relative to the height of the trailer tongue and tire inflation, but I figured that I would get some baseline numbers.

If this location doesn’t work, there is only one other location that would work for my situation. It would be on the front bar and pointing forward. I haven’t moved the boat to fully check, but if I need to move it I’ll post some more photos.

The last photo gives the extra width the rack goes past the trailer fender

You must have a fairly tall garage if your able to put the tower up.

Looks nice. I don't garage my boat. Probably will get the one without the swivel arm

Check out this video of the HyprRyd racks on a Malibu tower. Never mind the tower differences but the bimini overhangs very similar to Yamaha bimini, especially the larger Yamaha boats. You can of course mount these on the side of the tower as well but IMO the point of getting something like this is keeping the boards out of the sun when not in use. That being said I’ve seen people use these sideways on the tower and they like them and don’t have blind spots but that all depends on tower place and boat MFG.

The price isn’t bad IMO when you check out the reviews for the build quality and what they offer. High end surf boards aren’t cheap and easily cost the same as one rack and much more with custom boards, so I suppose it all depends on what you value. I like these a lot more than Tritan board racks I was looking at and they’re much cheaper.

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!!! Thanks!
