Does anyone know if there is any other wakeboard mount that uses a cleat other than lcw. I saw that some old threads mentioned a site called rusty racks but that site no longer exists. I just don't want to pay $429 per mount. I also don't want to get a tower yet. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a rustys rack and it is awesome. So nice to get those boards off the floor of the boat!!

sharps45 - it would be great to get some pictures on your website of the rack installed on a cleat on a boat. I'm having trouble visualizing it. Maybe some pictures for the forum?

Here's how they fit on-

the first shows how you fit the mount on the cleat, second how to line up the rack with the mount, third and fourth putting on the rack and tightening the wing nuts. You pretty much just leave the mount on the boat.

By the way, if anyone has one of the older racks with a different mounting system, I will update you to this new mount for the cost of shipping alone.

I see gel coat fractures around the cleat bolts. Is that from the weight of the rack and board or were they already there? That would be my only worry.
