    Mounting planer reels and pulleys to hardtop just picked up a new to me crestliner eagle 2450 hardtop. it came with a pair of clamp-on big jon manual planer board reels that are currently attached at the back of the hardtop (clamped to support tubing). I would like to relocate these to the rear of the sides of the hardtop and mount pulleys to the front corner sides. problem is, there isn't any tubing to clamp them to on the sides. ideally, i'd like to bolt them on but I haven't been able to find any bolt-on versions of the reels or pulleys. I've seen it done on other boats so there's gotta be a way to do it. anyone have theirs bolted on in a similar setup to what i'm describing? added a couple pics so you can see what I mean.

    that's what i'm thinking.. in the assembly line, they'd install whichever config was called for. i imagine that they're the same, they would just install either the windshield or the hardtop. it's just an unknown that would be good to know before taking on the project. i'm hoping someone out there may know the answer. cortland huh? my ex in-laws live there, on brook drive.

    right. i'm just wondering what the differences are between the two.
  5. dt5150
    do you have any knowledge of how they're physically attached? if the hardtop uses the same mounting points, or has more mounting points?

    Starcraft Islander Top Swap has anyone seen or know of a successful top swap on an islander? specifically, taking a factory hardtop from a donor islander and installing it on a soft top model islander. i'm wondering if this is feasible.. i'm sure could be done, but don't have any idea how easy or difficult it would be. probably depends on how they're mounted, the differences between the two models, if they attach the same way or if they're even close. visually comparing the two, it looks as though they both attach to the same spot on top of the cabin "cap" if you will. any thoughts?

    no worries buddy. i appreciate the thought nonetheless. i must have seen 4 or 5 last year that i would've bought but couldn't for one reason or another. so far this year, i haven't seen any. and now that i'm boatless, it makes it that much worse!

    thanks, but not interested in a soft top.

    simply put, i don't want something that old.

    still searching.

    the 87? too old. 1995 or newer is what i'm looking for.

    my budget is mid to upper teens, nowhere near what those cost i'm sure. i just sold my boat to get rid of the loan/payment so buying new isn't going to happen. the next one will be bought and paid for without any loans. that phantom is a nice rig, but i'm done with soft tops. one like this is what i would really like to find.

    ^^ ?
  14. dt5150
    probably not. i'd get it shrink wrapped and stored.

    thanks, seen that too. an outboard would be nice, but I don't want a bimini soft top anymore.

    thanks fish hunter, but i'm looking for 95 or newer. appreciate it though. I saw that one willy, pretty sure it's a scam. if you do a google image search for that model boat, those same pics come up, but the ad is old and boat is in Michigan I think. nice rig though..
  24. dt5150
    thanks. looks like a nice rig, too old though.
  25. dt5150
    sold, it's an old ad. thank you though.
