Getting a new tower and am going to need some clips? Anybody know how much this will run and where the best place to get them is?

I'm looking for just one flight clip not even a set, just to hold my surfboard in..........

And what have you done besides post this thread? Have you called your local dealer, contacted White Lake, etc.? You may get lucky and find some on eBay or for sale on here, but more than likely, you'll have to go through a Nautique dealer to get them.

contacted a couple dealers

Yeah, I contacted the dealer. These thing are priced so rediculously. 1000 bucks for a set is insane. That is just straight up taking advantage of a customer for having a nautique. What do you think it costs to build....maybe 50 bucks...just was hoping there was someone on here that knew where to get them cheaper.

RE: contacted a couple dealers

Yeah, $1000 is pretty rediculous. 3 years ago when we bought ours from Mid-Ohio (which is no longer a Nautique dealer), we paid about $400. Check White Lake and see if you can get a price with the PN discount.

Well your checking in the right place - I have seen only a pair or 2 come up on here and on ebay. I don't think these are typically items people take off their boat, but you have probably figured that out since you cant find them anywhere.

You may just start calling dealers - I would try old SECC or whatever it called now. They might have some extra parts laying around.

If you are going to drop the cash, the guys at N3 boatworks made a set of flight clips with spinners on that all black boat they did.

Good luck with the search.....

They have them for sale?

Let me back up - I do not want to start any rumors, and I am not aware of them being for sale - I know they will do alot of custom work as we have all seen. I would think they could get you hooked up with a custom set with the spinners pretty reasonably since the mark-up on the clips appears to be so high.

I'm gonna have to call N3 about getting a pair made. If they agree we could set up a group buy?

I just got some spinners for my '03 FCT and won't need my OEM flight clips. I want to make sure the spinners work with my tower/bimini set-up before I offer them but I should have a set of clips available in the next few days.

I have some racks off of the '07 FCT...I don't know if those are what you guys are talking about or not, let me know if anyone is interested?

Thanks

[wakerpunk]

how much are you willing to part with the racks for?

[DavidF]

Monster tower sells racks for any tower tube size...including surfboard racks. I think they are in the $500 - $650 range.
