Slalom ski tower rack

[cat1168]

Has anyone found a good Slalom ski rack for the tower? Correct Craft said they are working on one?

I know Mikeski is using the waterski rack from monster tower. Works well because
you it has a quick connect so you can remove it when not in use.

I think Edwin has these, may be worth a PM to him.

What does Edwin know, he owns a Malibu and "is not" :mrgreen:

2 Malibus, that means he knows twice as little. Right Abun?

I have the Titan ski rack on my rides...great product. My brother has the Monster ski rack on his boat...it works ok but the bungy cord system is a pain in the *ss. I also have the Titan lift off's on the racks, makes removing them a 2 second job; keeps them free from bugs when towing and makes sure they stay mine when the boat sits on the lift.

Sorry in advance for the 'bu pic.

Edwin,
Do you know if they make a clamp like this that will work on the Nautique towers? Also, what is a the ballpark price on a pair of these?

Thanks!

By the way, don't worry about the Malibu pic. I don't get why people have to bash the other boats so bad.

Here were two bashing stories I heard the other day from a Malibu dealer against the CC. Pretty poor sales tactics if you ask me.

1. You would never buy a Nautique if you saw their factory. It is so old that the floors are all dirt. Too bad they will have a new factory in a few months and this is all over. There goes that selling tactic.

2. The only way that CC is staying in business is by getting their $72 royalty charge on the towers. Anyone can do the math on the number of towers sold and see that it wouldn't keep the company in business.

Just thought I would share those with everyone. Kind of cracks me up!

SN - the Titan website claims the racks have a modular fit for any tower system. I'd be surprised if they didn't have a solution for the CC as the new spinner option for CC is made by Titan.

The Titan ski rack isn't cheap...$375 per rack, the lift of is another $125 per rack.

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the info. I wonder when CC will come out with one?

Just so you have another option, Samson Sports makes a ski rack. I don't have anything of theirs and I haven't seen their stuff so I can't vouch for it, just to let you know. http://www.samsonsports.com

I have used and or sold almost every brand of rack on the market - trust me when I tell you that Titan is the real deal. Clamps are wide and strong, specifically machined to exactly fit the tower diameter (even Nautique) and beautifully chromed. Titan uses a T shaped rubber extrusion to key into the rack forks for ski/board (giggle) protection, not just a round rubber cord. I also have to agree with the malibu guy, the lift off option is one of the best options you can buy - super solid, no rattle, just a pure design. Shy away from any board rack with "rubber" inserts claiming to protect paint - they will eventually crush and are impossible to get tight. You bought a Nautique for all the right reasons - don't dink and dunk with your accessories.

I have the ski rack from Skylon, and I really like it. I have it fastened to the "crossbar" on the tower (right above the windshield). It looks pretty good because it is about the same length as the "crossbar" and blends in very well. I'm sure that Titan makes a quality rack - no doubt about that.

I had the Titan on my 04 206 I highley recommend it. No tower on the new boat so I dont have one anymore.

Did your new PP come with the new style display?
My friend ordered his 06' 196, he saw the new display I just got and wondered if he would get it?
Thanks for the input.

[G-man]

Yes it did, what I like about the new pp is how well the boat settles into speed when pulling up a skier into the course. I think the throttle by wire has a lot to do with this.
