Illusion X vs XS

I currently have a Malibu with a Illusion X tower. I know that the XS tower has a different mounting scheme when it comes to wakeboard racks. I am looking at some racks for sale but they are for and XS. Does anybody have a picture of an XS rack mounting interface? I am trying to decide whether or not I would want to tackle a mounting adapter.

Thanks

There are adapters available, but they do not look good and it is just one more thing to come loose. When you add the cost of the adapters to the cost of the XS racks, I doubt you will come out ahead. There is one Titan rack for Illusion X for sale at themalibucrew.com.

Malibu Crew is currently running a GB with Star One (formally Titan). If you arent already a member become one and get your discount!! Star One has both fixed and spinning racks perfect for your IX tower!! Good Luck!

I took my X brackets and "redesigned" them to make XS brackets. If you have a drill press with a swivel base and are handy with power tools let me know and I will send you the measurements.

Metcraft towers SUCK. Don't waste your time with either. Run, don't walk, away from them.
