Barefoot Boom for V-Drive?

[bwood357]

Is there a barefoot boom that will go on a 2013 RZR? If so, where do I get it?

I don't think there is. The new arch towers don't accommodate booms. I know Barefoot International makes one for a tube tower.

Contact Mike Seipel @ Barefoot Int/Fly High and talk with him directly. Im betting they have a solution, which would be similar to other V-drives, and can give you all the part numbers you need, including any suggested accessories. Send me a PM with those part number and I can give you a quote.

You can get them for v drives. That being said, I found the rear pylon mounted boom was much more bouncy than the one mounted to my center pylon. Also, i could not access anything in the rear hatch while the boom was up. In the end, I returned the rear pylon mounted one and reinstalled my center pylon. Which was kind of a bummer cause I was really liking the extra space.

Anyways, we love the boom. Probably the best thing ever if have a bunch of kids

I had a rear pylon mounted Barefoot boom on my 1992 Nautique Excel.It would work on the new Tige.It was a Barefoot International product.

I bought one from Mike last summer for my 22v. It mounts to the rear pylon and works well. Not as well as the center pylon boom, but I did not have that option. In order to reduce the "bounce" - you will def want to use some sort of strap pulling it backwards towards the transom. I keep a motorcycle type tie down strap in the boat that I ward around the boom and then attach to the rear cleat. It comes with a cable that will attach to the front eye, which pulls it forward - so with both straps it keeps it pretty centered. I also bought the extension and the small handle for kids. Mike is great to work with and he will want you to call him on his cell when you install it for the first time. He will want to see some pics of your install on the pylon so he can verify it is correct.

I keep an open end wrench in the boat and bolt it on when needed. Kind of a pain, but all booms have some installation required.
