Been looking at racks for awhile now, probably going to pull the trigger on a pair of these. Anyone have any experience with them, good...bad or otherwise?

Nice looking rack considering the price. Curious if you get any input here. If you get them give us a review once you try them on the water.

the_dude, Will do, probably gonna order em tomorrow, hope they are worth it. I can't take all the boards laying in the boat.

Chrome and boats do not go together well.....

And I thought Fusion went bust? Seems like they are liquidating??? Anyone know about this?

I think those look like nice racks. I don't know about how well they will hold a board though. They don't have any straps that will ensure that your board stays on the rack. In rough water, it may cause hell on your board because its just bouncing around up there. Sorry but i'm an engineer and think of these kinds of things.

Brit Rider, I had to ask about clamps cause they are out of the size I need. In their response they did indeed say they were liquidating. As for the chrome, if it lasts a season I'll be happy, if it starts to flake to bad I will have em sand blasted and powder coated.

scottiekarate17, Yes they have the bungee strap to hold the boards, you just can't see em in that pic.

Just ordered a set, I'll let you all know how they work out. Anything has to be better then boards all over the boat.

JeffreyCH, Sounds like a fair punt to me then....

If you are happy to DIY a little then they seem a great deal.

I have them. I put two sets on the top of my tower in addition to my flight clips on my '04 SANTE. Cheap and they do the job. No complaints.

Brit Rider, I was thinking of just using some 1/4" rubber inside of them (I have rubber roofing scraps around) kinda works out in a way since i have to rotate them in to get my boat in the garage anyway, prevent scratches on the tower.

_bruky, Glad to hear someone has them and is happy, they have very little bad feedback, it was all from a year ago. Guess I'll see......and so will all of you, cause if they perform or suck I'll write em up here Laughing

Racks came in fed ex yesterday, fit and finish looks good, feel pretty beefy. I'll get some pics as soon as I mount them next time I go out.
