On either side of the engine in the storage lockers. If not there then on the bed of my truck (with a lid). On long trips you stop at someplace to eat or gas up and it is easier to have them away and not laying in the boat.

We keep our boards in board bags to and from the lake. And leave them in the bag with the zippers open to let them dryout completly when at home.
Like the bags to keep them from getting all dinged up. If you get bags, make sure there the padded ones.

I put my boards on the racks also if i was going any farther than 30 min or so i would just lay them in the boat. I have traveled over 80 mph and they have never flown out or given us any trouble.

If I am at the lake camping, leave them in the board racks. If I am travling on the road I either put them in the boat ot in the board bads in back of the truck.

I wouldn't keep the boards in the racks for more than a very short drive to the lake. Keeping them in the racks on the highways is asking for trouble.

I keep mine in the bed of my truck.

Is it a good idea to tow your boat with your boards in the racks?

live2wakeboard 03-18-2005, 10:13 PM

It is if your just goin a couple of miles to and from the lake. But goin down the highway I don't think it would be a very good idea just cuz you take a risk of loseing a board. I haven't taken that chance so i wouldn't kno but ya!!!

I dont know about everyone else, but when I go to some of the lakes I go to, you have to go through a lof of rural areas. Rural areas = lots of bugs
Bugs + boars on racks = bug juice on bindings and boards. Another thing, dont put your wakeskate in the board racks. Couple of months ago, we were mobbin through the middle of the lake, a little coppy, and my friends in the back saw the skate start to fall, one of them jumped up and caught it as it was falling out of the boat. It was amazing. But, if you were on the freeway, that would be bye bye wakeskate. 10 piece wakeskate after the guy behind you runs it over in his 18 wheeler. O yeah, i throw all my gear in the boat. Just stack it all up in there and it will be chillin.

I just put mine in the back of the tahoe, but if we're loaded up with a lot of stuff in the truck, I'll pad them with life vests, run a rope through the bindings and tie it off on the steering wheel in the boat.
