SKI-RAK Accessory

[Charlie]

Eddie had commented on the Ski Rack that's on my boat. (see original posting for New Owner/Member).  I assumed this was a factory option as the installation instructions look like it was designed for an Am Skier.  Does anyone have any info on who may have manufactured these?

This was not an American Skier accessory. It defies the definition of a tournament ski boat which does not allow anything to snag a ski line. We even had problems when someone wanted to add teak step pads to the deck which added 3/8".  Later models have recessed step pads in the tooling to minimise the elevated step.
