Default Wakeboard and Kneeboard storage

I don't want to put a tower on my boat just to hold the Kneeboards, and Wakeboards, anybody know of a rack that will mount on the boat somewhere so I can declutter the inside of the boat.

    I don't know, I think the board(s) would get in the driver's line of sight mounted that low. Any higher, and the bimini frame wouldn't be able to support that weight.

    Do you have the "sport" seating (full rear bench)? I'd look for a way under there, if so. Not much else of a choice. I've fit a wakeboard in my ski storage fairly easy, but I'm assuming your's is smaller?

    My boat has the back to back seating, with the little ski storage locker, sounds like it's buy another Mariah with the bigger ski storage locker, or add a tower.

    I agree, I think thats a great install, but I would hate the location. Every boat and layout is unique, although I think this is a great idea to see how it might look back at the transom area somewhere very low.

    I am not saying I would do it, in fact theres absolutely no way. I think if my friends require that many boards(more than 1) I will just have to add a friend to the group with a wakeboard boat. Or I could hook em up and drag them around like trout on a stringer line.

    Here is something I found while I was searching for a wakeboard tower for my boat. I actually when with a different wakeboard tower company (Aerial), but this is the only rack I have seen in my search that does not require a tower.

    Racks - Big Air Wake Towers

    If I had decided I was not going to get a tower, I would have given this option serious consideration. It is $199 + $15 S&H.

    Thank you and have a great day,

    Kris

    FWIW, I have a Fly High Pylon Rack that I'm looking to sell if you think it will help your project any.

    Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. Now I just have to decide if I can drill 2 holes in my Mariah.
