Strapless racks vs regular?

[tmb]

I’ll be ordering a new 210 soon and am debating between the strapless racks vs the regular racks. It’s a significant price increase but I like the idea of getting rid of the straps and having the boards sit vertically. Looking for opinions from those that have used both. Do you find them to be a significant upgrade in terms of ease of use? Primarily will be used on surfboards.

Im thinking of upgrading racks with straps on my G23 2017 with the Roswell Triton Strapless racks. I have asked several folks and they prefer these racks vs the OEM strapless ones from Nautique. Plus the Roswell racks allow you a painted version to match your hull color or another color of your choosing.

I bought a pair of the PTM racks this Summer and absolutely love them. I considered the Roswell ones but could not get over how they look.

The ptm ones are amazing! So simple and protective for the boards

I know they charge a boatload of money for the Roswell racks if you buy them aftermarket...has anyone asked how much they would discount the boat if you didn't order the racks on a G series boat? (They come standard with the Gseries)

Good question and I don’t know the answer but as you suggested they cost a boat load of money. With my PN discount and with the custom color, the Roswell Triton Racks cost me $2,850.00. I just purchased a set.

Strapless board racks are a $1795 upgrade on a 210

If you got Roswell Triton board racks for $1,795.00 you got one h*** of a deal

$1800 upgrade so it accounts for the value of the standard rack

Keep in mind that certain brands of surfboards will not warranty their boards if the boards are stored on top of the bimini or on board racks. They must be kept out of the sunlight when not in use. At least this is what a Ronix retailer told me when my surfboard swelled up. In fairness to them they replaced my board despite their claim. I actually mentioned this to Nautique during my tour. I'll be looking for some better boards next year but go figure.

You should look at Soufcraft boards if you are in the market for a new wakesurf board
