So, after waking the sleeping beast; me, a washed up mid-30s former average wakeboarder, I am starting to get back into the game bit. I'm pretty stoked about the development of bindings over the past 8 years. I'm pinching my pennies so I can afford to actually go out and ride, but I would like to up grade at least my bindings, then maybe next year my board.

Problem is, I think the bolt spacing has changed over the years. Can anyone confirm this?

Here is what I'm riding:
A 2002 Jobe Nunn (Don't trash on it, I love it Embarassed )

I want to put 2011 Watson or Shane bindings on it.

Is this going to work, or am I going to have to pull off my existing bindings and break out the tape measure?

Are there any bolt adapters if it doesn't line up?

Thanks for any input.

I searched and didn't see anything at first, but then I just found this very helpful topic.

No idea but if you can just take the board to the store and try if they fit. I wouldn't want to take the risk they don't work. Or just keep saving and wait for the right closeout deal on board+bindings.

I have a 2001 LF Trip 38 and use current Ronix bindings on it.
The spacing works for me, but I can see where it may not for everybody.

I thought the only limitation was the outer most holes will not work with the new bindings.

If you cannot get them to fit LF does make a Retro lock kit that has metal spacers that will allow you to get to the outside holes. I believe that they will work but you might have problems getting to the most inner and outer stance options like fd2blk said.
