    Any hydrofoilers on the forum?

    In particular, I am looking for ideas for a Sky Ski rack.There are several companies who make racks but the just do not always keep up with new tower designs. In particular, the GS series and the G series boats. I plan to modify my old Air Boom rack for a temporary fix but I would like to see what others have done.

      I foil and couldn't find a way to mount my sky ski rack to my 2013 230. Let me know if you have found a solution

        Which rack do you have? Is it a foil specific rack? My buddy has a 2013 230 also. I will get you a pic of his setup.

          Ffmedic74, my buddy switched out both board racks for Sky Ski (Comptech) foil racks. Very easy install but they are $1000 each.
          You could get the Air Boom rack like I have and maybe even keep the board rack in place. $350

              Keith....Is that pic at Apache lake? I think I got a couple of pulls behind that boat at the Apache Lake reunion (or one exactly like it!). Although I thought the owner was from Colorado...I just noticed the TX registration.

              Comptech now makes an adapter that fits right onto the stock location. The adapter is somewhat steep in price, $150, plus another 70 or so if you have a 2015 and up for a secondary adapter that changes the angle of the rack.

              I am about to update this thread with the rack located in the stock location, but I wanted to wait until I actually tried it out and had a few pics in action: http://www.foilforum.com/forums/show...light=G23+rack

                Tallredrider, Yes! I am sure you skied behind this boat. Leland and Brett Speed take it everywhere out west especially. They live in TX. I have also been toying with using the existing swivel rack on my 2017 GS20. I have already mounted the bracket and the board rack (Air Boom) but the Tbar support is my current dilemma. I am trying to fabricate an extension arm to mount from the tower clamp to a Comptech stem clamp which has a Velcro fastener.
