New Wake board Rack

[dothadoo]

Well, I went ahead and ordered my new wake board rack about a week ago and installed it on my 2007 Speedster 150. It looks and works great! I bought the polished model, thinking it would stick out a little from the tower, but it looks just fine. It comes with one of two clamps. One for 1 5/8"-2" and the other a little larger. I opted for the smaller clamp, as I believe it is 1 7/8" tubing. I installed it just in front of the port side bimini top front strap. I put two boards on it and rode around with them to make sure it did not slip down due to the weight of the boards. Everything rode well, except for the rattle of the boards hitting each other on the waves. I solved this by placing a piece of rubber between the boards, which seems to do the trick. It really helps being able to get the boards off the floor and out of the way.

BTW, this was an ebay purchase from a user called hydrowake, which I believe was the brand on the rack as well. I took a picture but I can't get it to upload correctly, but that is it in my avatar and I changed my profile pic to it as well.

I think I bought from the same vendor, about $115? Mine came with two rubber gaskets to go between the tower and the clamp. I used the smaller one and the clamp is fully tightened. We had really bad chop this weekend, and I found the chop with one board (I only have one) was bad enough to allow the rack to slowly slip. Did you use the smaller gasket?

This is the one I have:

Yup, same one. I put the smaller gasket on first but noticed that one board pulled it down. The larger gasket does not fully tighten and you have to line up the gap just right to get it to tighten as much as i did, but it works and does not slip at all. I took the extra piece and put it between the boards to keep them from clanking together. One board is my wife's. Most of the time, I will probably be riding with just one board on there. Where on the tower did you mount yours Owen?

Thanks for the info. I mounted mine a little further back than yours (from what it appears), past the top pivot point (halfway between the strap hook and next intersection).
We have the same boat. Some of my top decals were peeling, so I removed all but he "215HP Supercharged", hull decals, and warning decals.
