Anyone know the name of this rack

That rack belongs to @oldtoy74 http://eastcoastx.org/ is who fabricated it.

 

I dont know what material he used but at metalsdepot.com. The material is only about $300

 

Be prepared to answer again next month.

My sources would be central mass off road and online steel suppliers. Shipping charges, min qty, more bending = more expected waste...all adds up

 

Somethings not right in the math though at $800 in material and shipping that would still need you 100 feet in steel pipe which is WAY too much

 

Exactly my thought. I only deal with pipe at work, not tube, but you could make it out of 2" .120 wall sch 40 in 304SS for ~$325. I'm sure tube in roughly the same size is similarly priced.

 

made mine from aluminum. 130 in material plus 3 kb voodoo bedrail bars. Not as pretty, but solid.

 

Imagine my disappointment when I opened this thread and it contained truck pictures.

 

I see what you did there.

 

Yup, and here's his post with more photos. Cool.

800 seems really steep. Rigid steel pipe 1.5" per 10 foot is $55 each and that's Hawaii prices. 1" rigid which he most likely used on top is roughly $35. 5x 10' 1.5" plus 2x 10' 1" rigid is roughly $350. A 2' length of box steel is no more than $20 plus misc. flat steel is another $50 at absolute most.

I'm guessing ball park is around $450 at the very absolutely most. (Plus bolts/hardware)

 

Looks like you'd see a tow rope and someone on a wakeboard behind it

 

Funny you mention that, the company that did the fab work is apparently big into boat racks/towers/etc. I can see the influence behind the build.

 

Right?!

 

Guess ill just have to base a design off that and tweak it to be designed for surfboards
