Baller Mrs_MS Posted March 15, 2010 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hello...I'm getting a cute little golf cart for cruising to the club dock. I want to put ski racks on top. Has anyone out there done this? I need pictures (if you have any), shopping list, and instructions pretty please! ( MS has some bungie cord idea...it doesn't sound right to me...I don't want to hurt my new ski) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2odawg79 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I can think of all kinds of ways to configure light wgt. 3/4" pvc (pipe & fittings) and water pipe insulation into racks with or w/o bungees... quick, e.z. cheap!Sorry, no pic's!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller thager Posted March 15, 2010 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2010 KS, I'm sure I can build you something nice with the plastic I build fin protectors from. I'll just have to see the cart first. You just have to promise to keep MS away from the area and especially the tools!! I love your new avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller thager Posted March 15, 2010 Baller Share Posted March 15, 2010 We can do that with Nautique vinyl. I have some ideas!!! Have your people call my people. We'll do lunch. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted March 15, 2010 Baller_ Share Posted March 15, 2010 Mrs.MS - It's easy to make changes to your account. Just go back to the "discussions" page, then click on the "account" tab at the top. That will bring up your account info, on the left side, lower corner just click on "personal information" and then make yor changes you want and then click "save changes". I agree with thager, that is a cool avatar.

Baller Steven Posted March 16, 2010 Baller Share Posted March 16, 2010 Couldn't you (I hate to say it but) use a wakeboard rack? It's polished aluminum, padded, easy to use and has definately got the coolness factor built in! Should be an easy and clean way to attach it to the golf cart. Gotta treat her right!

h2oski Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I put a utility basket on mine, covered the top rails with pipe insulation, and use bungee cords to hold the skis on. The basket is a good place to haul ropes, handles, vests, etc. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old MS Accout Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Steven...Where do I get a wakeboard rack? How much are they? How will I put it on the roof? And...I may need help convincing the MS to "show me the money" Sounds cool!  Wait...can it hold 2 skies?   Terry...I like your idea too! Do you have a picture? Mrs. MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Steven Posted March 16, 2010 Baller Share Posted March 16, 2010 Mrs. MS,I'm un-sure of the price (sorry MS) but you should be able to order them from your local dealer. They come brand specific. Like Malibu, Mastercraft, so you can get them to match the brand of boat you own. As for mounting, without seeing your golf cart, it's hard to say. I know that they screw onto those silly looking monkey bars that they have on wake board boats. With a little ingenuity, it should be an easy/clean install. If anything, you could have your local machine shop make up some mounting brackets that'll compliment the coolness factor of the racks. And yes, they do hold 2 skis. Sorry for spending your hard earned money MS! But I have to admit, it's so much fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Steven Posted March 16, 2010 Baller Share Posted March 16, 2010 OOOOOOOOO YEEEEEAAAAH! That Silver top accented by the polished aluminum! Class Act for sure! He'd be the envy of everyone on the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted March 16, 2010 Baller Share Posted March 16, 2010 if you go the wake board rack route, make sure you get actual ski racks. I think MC makes some. The wakeboard rack ends are to close together and do not fit around your bindings. Unless they have changed them in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Steven Posted March 17, 2010 Baller Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm not sure about that??? We have a young fella in our ski club that has an older Mastercraft with an after market tower and thats how he transports his A1. Maybe it just works out on that tower??? But I would think that they could be mounted at pretty much any width that you desire. I'm no wake board technician though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Mrs ML Posted March 17, 2010 Baller Share Posted March 17, 2010 Mrs MS-I have a friend who used the same racks you put on your car for snow ski's. He just screwed them to the top of his golf cart. I don't have a picture of his cart but I'm going to attempt to attach a pic of the type of rack on this post (I hope I'm not one of those people who can't attach the pic - here we go...)http://www.prolineracks.com/thule-91726-pull-top-ski-rack-240.gifIf there's no pic here, try looking at this link: http://www.prolineracks.com/thule-91726-pull-top-6-pair-ski-racks.htmlI'm sure you can find some of these on craigs list-or a garage sale or something. They work great and they don't look silly on your cart.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Mrs_MS Posted March 17, 2010 Author Baller Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hi LKB It's a new Z7 with last years graphics, so getting it for a good price./vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gifI didn't ask for one and I know I'm not worthy of it, but MS says he's sick and tired of working on my GOODE. So....what's a girl to do?/vanillaforum/js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-surprised.gif The golf cart is used and we are buying it from a friend.

D Wolters Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Mrs/Mr MSNot sure about the style of your cart or what options are on your cart (single bench, double bench, rear golf bag caddy...etc.) But if it were me I would build/convert the rear golf bag caddy into an upright ski rack. There are several carts in the Houston area that have the golf caddy in the rear. They stand their ski's up in the caddy but they flop around because of the large bag belt at the top.It wouldn't be very hard to remove the bag cradles/belts and bolt a (wb)rack to the upright post or carpet a 2x4 w/1" dowel rods w/bunge instead of the wb rack.This way the ski's are at a convenient heigth, easy to put on and take off. Not a head knocker. You won't have to climb/reach on top to get them down. You don't have to worry about them hanging over the side's and catching on something as you drive by.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old MS Accout Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 We have yet to see the cart but will get it next week. I know it has a roof with a built in rack/covy hole under the roof. We will have some detail on the cart when I look at it. She is easily excitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Wolters Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Mark, Go back to page 1 and look at Scokes pic, stand the ski's up just like Scoke's gun's only turn them flat instead of on edge. Of course only 2 ski's will fit turned flat not sure if you three event or not. Then look at H2OSki's pic, it's a little hard to see but there's a recessed area in the back. That's where the golf bag caddy bolts up. The one's in this area have a roof and the ski's fit standing upright. No comment on where to put/mount the ball washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old MS Accout Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Thanks DW. The ball washer will not be part of the finished project. It just sounds like it hurts.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
