Abstract

Storage racks for personal watercraft are provided for installation on standard boat dock posts. The storage racks may be pivotally attached to a post such that the storage rack may be pivoted between an over-dock orientation, a stowed orientation and an over-water orientation. A storage rack may be installed and reoriented without use of tools or additional hardware.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A personal watercraft storage rack, comprising:
 a first main post having at least one first arm; and   a second main post having at least one second arm, wherein the first main post is pivotable between a first orientation and a second orientation independent of the second main post.   
     
     
         2 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 1 , wherein the first arm extends from the first main post in an orientation selected from: a vertical orientation, an angular orientation, or a horizontal orientation. 
     
     
         3 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 1 , wherein the first main post includes a first plurality of arms and the second main post includes a second plurality of arms that are configured to store at least one personal watercraft in various orientations. 
     
     
         4 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 1 , wherein the first main post and the second main post are rotatable such that the first arm and the second arm are reorientable between orientations including: an over-dock orientation, a stowed orientation, and an over-water orientation, without use of tools or additional hardware. 
     
     
         5 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 1 , wherein the first arm is repositionally positioned on the first main post and the second arm is repositionally positioned on the second main post via interlocking features such that the first arm and the second arm are movable from a respective first mounting position to a respective second mounting position without use of tools or additional hardware. 
     
     
         6 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 at least one customization option selected from: an owner identification, a pier-dock marking, or advertising using, in-process manufacturing options on tubular component.   
     
     
         7 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 1 , wherein the main post, the first arm and the second arm include at least one of: a protective finish, a polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) coating, a urethane coating, a rubberized soft coating, galvanized material, stainless steel material, or aluminum. 
     
     
         8 . A personal watercraft storage rack, comprising:
 a main post having a first arm extending vertical from the main post; and   a second arm extending at an angle from the main post, wherein the main post is pivotable between a first orientation and a second orientation, and wherein the first arm and the second arm are repositional between a respective first position and a respective second position without use of tools.   
     
     
         9 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 8 , wherein the main post includes a first plurality of arms that are configured to store at least one personal watercraft in various orientations. 
     
     
         10 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 8 , wherein the main post is rotatable such that the first arm and the second arm are reorientable between orientations including: an over-dock orientation, a stowed orientation, and an over-water orientation. 
     
     
         11 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 8 , wherein the first arm is repositionally positioned on the main post via interlocking features. 
     
     
         12 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 at least one customization option selected from: an owner identification, a pier-dock marking, or advertising using, in-process manufacturing options on tubular component.   
     
     
         13 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 8 , wherein the main post, the first arm and the second arm include at least one of: a protective finish, a polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) coating, a urethane coating, a rubberized soft coating, galvanized material, stainless steel material, or aluminum. 
     
     
         14 . A personal watercraft storage rack, comprising:
 a main post having a first arm extending from the main post; and   a second arm extending from the first arm, wherein the main post is pivotable between a first orientation and a second orientation.   
     
     
         15 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 14 , wherein the first arm and the second arm are repositional between a respective first position and a respective second position. 
     
     
         16 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 14 , wherein the main post includes a first plurality of arms that are configured to store at least one personal watercraft in various orientations. 
     
     
         17 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 14 , wherein the main post is rotatable such that the first arm and the second arm are reorientable between orientations including: an over-dock orientation, a stowed orientation, and an over-water orientation. 
     
     
         18 . The personal watercraft storage rack of  claim 14 , wherein the first arm is repositionally positioned on the main post via interlocking features.
