I was shopping at Model's sports store talking to the salesman about the promotional sale they have on the Everlast board and he mentioned a new board. I had him bring one out and saw where it is made of plastic and you fill it with water for weight. For a little over $60, I just had to buy it. Comes with a plastic ball and triangular carabiner. It can use other Everlast swivels with the standard four hole mount. Mount is sunk into the surface so with other swivels the arc will be shortened. Will have to see how this works out. Very light to travel with, just and water and beat vigorously.
Anyone tried one of these?

Would be cool if you could actually play a song.
I'm getting the thing together, adding some flat and lock washers where they should have included them. Will post pictures when done, easier than trying to describe it. Still trying to figure out how to get all the air out so it will be full of water to prevent sloshing. Good thing I didn't have this board when I was in Alaska and no heat in the barracks. I would have been ice boarding rather than water boarding.

Sorry about not getting back on this.
I don't recommend this board. I didn't give it the fairest test by mounting it on a good surface but compared to my Everlast adjustable board it isn't good. I couldn't get it full of water but I don't think that would have helped anyway. The hole pattern on the board is a little more spaced out which may add to the problem. There is a lot of bouncing of the board between the support arms where the majority of the rebounds are for front and back punching. I think that the flex in the plastic along with the momentum of the weight of the water makes the bounce worse. All this transfers to the support arms which appear to flex more than the other board. The mount looks like some that I've seen people using on the forum so I think it is familiar but the "board" made of plastic is of course different, see attachment of the top of it. I put a table top from, I think an Ikea end table on the arms and they still have more flex than the other mount. I've seen where with a proper board and weight these mounts are being used so I think I will keep the thing and rebuild in later. I see where Paranday has been shopping on line and posting links for the Everlast adjustable boards for about $50.00. Since I've seen them marked down for promotional sale, I have a feeling that they are being phased out and probably replaced by the Wet Dream, oops I meant Water Board, or new flashy name Hydro board. Anyone have any more insight on this. I may go back to the store and get a third wooden board (their last one) and take it home for my brother in KS. I'm trying not to be greedy so some new bagger may get it, but it's been there for a while.

No insights here, but I have seen the future. One of my favorite baggers on this forum has a new platform made of concrete ! And it's thicker than any wooden platform I've ever seen. Must weigh a couple hundred pounds About as close to zero vibration as possible.
