What Wakeboard Racks are yall using on 2010-2014 242 Limited S towers?

I would really like to find some that wrap around the cross bars.. and not look like tacked on crap..

 

[GiddYupJoe]

I have the Samson racks. I think they look pretty good. I think the cross bar may be too troublesome to get the boards in and out. If I purchased again I would def get one that swivels. Here is a pic just so you can reference the look of the location.

I have basically the same one except that it swivels. I'll try to take a picture this weekend when I'm out.

I have 2 of these from Samson. One wake/wake and one surf/surf. They are painful to purchase but they work well and look great. 4 seasons and they still look like new. I really like the ability to swivel them into the boat.

I have one monster rack, others from our AR wouldn't fit the larger diameter tower.

We have the swivel Samson racks. One wake/surf that we have had for 3 years which still looks new and one wake/surf/wake that we Just ordered so hoping to have it next week. They are not cheap but well worth it. Here are some pictures of our wake/surf on port side.

What size diameter are the 2015 towers on the 242 S?

 

[Craig]

I would be interested in any others who can comment on the racks they are using? We have a double wakeboard rack (Monster) that is quick release and we like it, but I need a surf/kneeboard combo rack for the other side. Ordered two and one was too big for the surfboard, the latter was too small for the kneeboard. Whichever rack we go with has to either swivel or be quick release to fit in my garage.

You guys do realize YAMAHA makes racks for your boat, and Will, from jetboat pilot sales them, and ebay, Yamaha sports plaza, etc....
swivel is just awesome, so much better than the standard ones, now I don't stand on my seats, and they fold inwards, for easy removability, for highway driving, & clearing the house since my driveway is very close at one point.

I have them for my older AR230 different part number as I have 1 7/8" OD tower, the fit and finish are top notch.


OH SNAP!!! LED Yamaha wakeboard racks, hmmm this gives me some ideas....

I have the Yamaha rack and it works great for wakeboards. The only issue is it only fits smaller surf boards.

What is the tower tube diameter for a 2013 Limited S?
I would check myself but the boat is currently stored about 3.5 hour drive from my home.
Thanks

 

[rocknracing]

It should be 2 3/8 which is what my 2012 Limited S is.

Thanks!

Craig, I am also looking to buy two racks, one wake-wake, the other wake-surf. Was the monster wake-surf rack too big for your wakesurf board? I have a Ronix Koalfish Longboard.

The price on the monster rack is good compared to other racks. The Samson seems to be the best quality, but I dont want to throw down because I plan to trade in for a new 2018 Yamaha in few years.
