Board Storage in boat while traveling

[YYYBN]

Any good ideas on storing 2 surfboards and a wakeboard in the boat while traveling? Right now I just lay them on the floor but it makes it a real pain to get the cover on. Even bigger pain if you forget something on the boat and have to crawl under the cover to get it with 3 boards on the floor.
Thanks!

I put mine up on the floor and across the seats in the bow area. I wrap the ends and fins with swim towels. They seem to ride really well up there. and if I forget something in the boat, I don't have to crawl over them. They also don't move. The towels seem to protect the seats pretty well also. I also only tow with the cover on it.

I’ll be darned! Why did I not think about that. Laying the large boards down on the floor in the bow, wrapped in towels/blankets, then closing the divider under the centerpiece windshield - it’s like a storage compartment especially with the center cushions in place. Brilliant. Thank you.

Thanks.

If memory serves me correct, I think I can get a couple of surf boards laying on each seat, and then the wakeboards go across the walkway from port-starboard as the beam is wide enough.

Now that I've planted the idea, you'll be playing with all the options up there.

This is more what I was thinking of! Is that built with PVC pipe?

Geez! We might need to see a parts list. I’m not sure I can count how many elbows and Ts in use there. Lol

Built that about 8-9 years ago. Still use it a couple times a year. It has been modified a bit to accommodate different boards. Do not quote me but I think it is 3/4 schedule 40 pvc. Or maybe 1"? I don't remember...buy your pool noodles first and measure the hole.
