Wanted Big Jon Planer Mast Pedestal Seat Mount - Planer Boards

[Capt Sized]

Anyone have one of these laying around?  

I've never actually seen one but if they'll fit in Atwood 2 3/8" bases, I'd like to buy one.

I'm still looking to buy a set of used Aurora Lites or Great Lakes Tackle Shop Plastic boards too.

I think it was discontinued. I have one on my big jon mast, it fits perfect in a Springfield base. Not sure if that's the same as Atwood or not.

You're right Steely they are no longer available. Just thought somebody might have one they'd turn loose of.

I'm not familiar with The Springfield base. Is it tapered? Do you know what diameter pedestal it accepts?

The atwood is straight and accepts 2 3/8" pedestals.

I called Big Jon. If I send them what I have, they'll custom make me a mount for around $65.

Chasurt...

I put a couple of picts in another posting here that shows how i adapted my front Atwood seat post to be able to mount my planer mast in to. This whole project cost less than $15.00 and a little of my time.

If I can answer any questions give me a PM

Yes, the springfields are tapered. I'd have to go out to the boat to measure them. It does work well but put a strap to a bow cleat for extra support

[steelydan]

My bases taper from 2.5" to 2".

[Capt Sized]

Yeah Steely, that's not gonna work for my set up. Guess I don't want one of those after all.

Sure appreciate all your time and trouble. Thanks!

[steelydan]

You got it, no trouble

[Capt Sized]

Egoody, I thought I posted a reply to you but don't see it. That looks like a workable set up.

Think I'll give it a try. Thanks for the info.

[Capt Sized]

Just bought a set of used Aurora Lites boards off Craig's List.

I was digging through my old gear. I have one if you're still interested

[Capt Sized]

Thanks Dewey, but as I posted earlier, I found out those won't work with my pedestals.

I appreciate your reply.

[Capt Sized]

Egoody, I got the material and have my pedestal all ready to go. I appreciate the pictures and info you provided.

Haven't gotten to the lake yet to try it out but I'm sure I'll love it. Thanks!!

[Egoody]

Chascurt,

Glad I could help pass along info that can be useful by fellow fishermen (and fisherwomen).

Still have that extra base?

[Capt Sized]

Not sure what you're asking Mayb4. I didn't advertise a base. If you're needing a base for an 2 3/8" Atwood pedestal I have 2 or 3 new one s around.
