Malibu Illusion X Board Racks

So with Metcraft out of business, getting replacement matching racks for my 2005 Illusiion X is proving difficult. Anybody know how to get them?

My dealer says the only option really is to go aftermarket like Skylon. Their racks seem pretty nice so I was just curious if anybody had any experience with them for their older Illusion X tower?

Here is the one I was looking at. The swivel option looks nice but it's $300 for JUST the adapter bracket!

Call Nice Rack 408 846-1919. Great product and a good price point.

I have a gently used factory set of roswells off a moomba v2 tower that will fit perfectly. Email me at Turk.ryanc@gmail.com for more info/pics. Same exact tower

X3 for the Samson racks

+++ for Samson. I just ordered the billet Samsons to replace the skylons that came with the boat. They stop a few degrees short of folding in all the way and hitting the tower speakers too. Plus the quick release billet handle to swing them is way nicer than a pin to pull in & out. They are pricey as MSRP is over 1K a pair but once you see/ use them you know why. They are worth every penny.

Thanks for the feedback. I will look at the Sampson stuff and see how it comes to Skylon. Thanks for the suggestion!
