    Swinging boardracks on FCT

    Has anybody seen or mounted swinging board racks on the older FCT? I've been jealous of swinging boardracks since they came out in the mid 2000's. I know the problem is the angle of the tubing that prevents most of the direct mounts from working effectively.
    I've had an idea about a large swinging arm but, don't have the means or know how to actually develop something viable.

    I setup swinging board racks on my old boat using this combination of things from Roswell:
    1. Universal Clamp: https://roswellmarine.com/universalclampfeature.php
    2. Swivel Clamp Adaptor: https://roswellmarine.com/swivelclampadapterfeature.php
    3. SI Swivel: https://roswellmarine.com/siswivelfeature.php
    4. Rack: https://roswellmarine.com/classicrackfeature.php

    Note: you can substitute the Mag Swivel for the SI Swivel if you'd like (SI Swivel works like older pre-2014 racks w/Pin, Mag works like newer 2014+ racks w/push button). You can also choose different racks if you like...

          I put the swing-in racks on my FCT2 this year. It's nice to swing them in when trailering or docking, but I never do it to get boards on or off. I put them on the bottom section of the tower; the mount has a swivel that makes up for the slope of the tower.

            Ken,

            You have any pictures of your setup?

              I'm not sure of brand, picked them up from ebay for $90/pr new from an individual that could not use them. You can sort of see on the first pic where it is swung in the boat how the part that mounts to the pipe is at a different angle than the forks. The large allen bolt can be loosened to adjust the mount angle vs. the tower angle so that it holds the boards level.
