Agreed, i watched the video and it looked like it would be a place for a board used once a day. It would be difficult to get boards in and out.

Fman riding that low is typical of my boat too for surfing. :) It drives pretty much the same for going straight. I only turn in one direction when driving around weighted like that - If you are weighted on port, only turn to port. This way your high-side takes the waves, not your low-side.

For you guys interested in the Z5 rack (and they are REALLY NICE) you should check out Monster Tower. They introduced their own cargo bimini last year.

I'll post a review when I get mine installed -- should be here today. I was able to score one for a REALLY good price.

I would be fine with driving that low, its my wife or son who would end up sinking it, or at least the bow... no doubt about it! Its amazing these transmissions and engines can take that abuse, talk about overload...

and I thought my 750's in the rear were sitting low when full, throw another 4 or 5 people in that boat you might be able to bring in water over the corner.

Let me know how the monster tower works. The cheapest price I can get for the z-5 is $2300 before taxes, and most places I get quotes from want to also charge shipping.

I just picked up one of these on ebay for $115. Holds 2 boards and looks decent but I haven't tried it out yet.

There's one in the wakeworld.com classified section for $1200 (or at least there was last week....)

Memmer just be SURE you have plastic ring to protect the tower inside of that metal rack clamp. Since it fits multiple size towers, it should have the inserts, else it will scratch the tower allllll up.

Memmer,

Let us know how this works out. I just emailed the guy thru ebay to ask about the rubber inserts/plastic ring Mikey is referring to...an absolute must, IMO.

He asked me what size my tower was at the end of the auction. He said they make different sizes for different towers. But I do have some left over rubber from my tower speakers and my mirror just incase. It does not sit vertical and I do see the point of haveing the boards sit in the Vertical position but for $115 bucks i figured I'd try it out.
