Rotating Board Rack Suggestions for XLV

believe it's 2 5/8"

somebody else will confirm

I think my '10 xlv tower tube is 2 3/8".

The boat is well covered for the winter and I can't get to a tower leg to measured.

2008 LSV had 2 3/8". If you have the aluminum tube style tower it should be the same.

Thanks for the prompt responses....going to order a couple today. Talked to a rep at Monster tower and he said they were coming out with a new swivel rack in Feb 2013. Said it was going to be sturdier than the model they offer now. He didn't have a msrp. Speaking of sturdy, looking at the Monster pivot rack it doesn't look to 'beefy'. Anybody worried about the arm bending or snapping??

ah, ha! thanks guys as it appears I had the wrong diameter.

those pivot racks are solid and heavy, no way for them to bend or snap. speaking about the ones I had anyway.

Mine have not been mounted yet and are in the garage. Although, they seem heavily made to me.

I really like the idea of a rotating board rack, it is embarassing to fall in the water getting boards down...

1. Did the Monster rep mention whether or not their new model will be polished or powdercoated?
2. At $585 - $610 the Samson Typhoon Boardracks are nice but kind of pricey.

Eric.

Rep didn't say, give them a call.

Got my racks in today and just got done putting them together. Real sturdy and a steal at $129 piece. The ad says 'blemish' sale, but I didn't see any issues with the black powder coat. A big plus, they match my black tower.

Glad I scooped these up. Have had issues with tying up to bigger, taller boats with wind and waves causing my boards to hit their windshields.

Again a steal at $129 a piece, one of my stock racks got busted and the dealer wanted $150 for 1.

Just ordered 2 of the monster pivot racks at 129... what a steal. Glad I didn't spend the cash earlier in the winter and came across this thread. They obviously still have a few sets left.
