Abstract: A ski rack for water skis is designed to releasably retain either one or two sets of water skis on the external surface of a boat, such as, the gunwale of an open boat or the top or side of a closed bow boat. A mounting frame has telescopically and rotatably adjustable leg supports extending in one direction for releasable attachment to the boat and one or more mounting posts extending in the opposite direction which cooperate with adjustable stops to releasably retain the skis in position on the mounting frame.
