Hey everybody, I am a newby Nautique owner (a 2004 SAN210) and I want to place boardracks on my tower without having to drill through.. Wich are the best for the job, value for money etc.

Anyone has any experience on the maximum size of towerspeakers (diameter) cause it aint very high this new tower... :?

thanks
Frank

Why not just get the flight clips. The new ones just clap around the oval bars instead of drilling thru them.

I agree with ag4ever, everybody seems to like them and they also seem to work great. It is nice that they don't need to be drilled through your tower. Didn't your new boat come with them?

AbunDiga....I think only TE's come with flight clips....

Personally I prefer standard racks(Boss and Fluid Concepts both are solid choices), but like everything in this world, differrent strokes for different folks.

Personally, I considered Flight Clips but wanted capacity for 6 boards and since I'm kind of anal, decided I wanted my racks to match. I went with Mako racks since they were about all I could find in black, plus they mount on the vertical bars eliminating the need to muck with goofy-sized clamps. You can see mine at the bottom of this (http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/88348.html) thread, plus some other ideas folks use.

I really like my flight clips. I'm also pretty anal and wanted everything to match. Eventually functionality won out because I needed room for more boards and something that would hold my skate and surfboard. I ended up going with Nvert. Working with Nvert was a little difficult and it ended up taking me about 2 months to get all of the correct pieces. About the time I did everyone on Wakeworld was complaining that theirs were falling apart. I'm hoping I don't have the same problems.

This is my first season using them, but so far, no complaints.

ok Guys, thanks for all the input on this.
Unfortunately, Deuce is right. I´ve got a 210 Signature model, so it´s very basic. Just the rear ballast and FCT. Love the new shape, bumped my head a couple of times though... Anywayz, I´m goin for the original flight clips, so it stays one boat, one brand kinda thing. When selling here in the Netherlands, people tend to take that in consideration.. :wink:

Again, thanks!
