Just got a new strap on and other related toys

Shame on you, get your mind out of the gutter! This is a respectable web site.

I just received a Dbot5 “Strap On”. I also bought a double Dbot wakesurf rack and a Dbot double wakeboard rack from Only Inboards. My new boat has a double wakeboard rack and a single wakesurf rack. All together the Mighty Centurion will be rigged to hold four skim boards and four thick surf boards.

Why so many board racks? My quiver includes:
Trick Boardz Mojo XL
Trick Boardv Freestyle
Trick Boardz Velocity
Inland Surfer Red
Inland Surfer Yelow
Walker Project F-18
Hyper Light Broadcast 5.6
Home made 9 foot long board
Home made cardboard, Pizza Hut box surf board
Home made 6 foot illuminated surf board
My wakeboard
My daughter’s wakeboard

My regular crew also has wakeboards and wakesurf boards.

When I bring the 9 foot long board I’ll keep it in a board bag and set it in the walk trough.

When I was researching racks I was surprised to find that Only Inboards carried accessories. I thought the site just listed new and used boats. They were offering a name your own deal “March Madness” special. I didn’t go to crazy, but I did ask for some discounts. Ian replied and accepted all of the deals I proposed. However, there were some supplier problems. Ian had to email back and alter the deal and make suggestions. In all I have over 24 emails form Only Inboards on this order. Ian literally bent over backwards to make up for problems that were outside his control. He even upgraded a lower cost wakeboard rack to a polished Dbot5 wakeboard rack so that the polished strap on rack would match the rack it was connected to.

I was wondering how the strap on mated to the base rack. Turns out its quite simple. The strap on is really a bolt on. The strap on came supplied with Allen wrenches and hex head bolts. The Racks have a collection of adapters to mate to different tube diameters. The base racks also include an Allen wrench.

The racks on my old boat were relatively permanent bolt on assemblies. These racks have a quick release. I think with the quick release you can easily remove racks and keep them out of thieves’ hands.

My home made board fits in the strap on but not the regular Dbot wakesurf rack.
