  1. i have a 2000 crestliner eagle 2450 hardtop, a wobbly hardtop. it'll shimmy side to side pretty good when hitting the waves. it has 4 points where it bolts down, 2 on the dash and 2 on the back of the cockpit area. i'm wondering if someone else out there may have a solution for securing the top a little better so it doesn't wobble as much. here's a couple pics of the attachment points. for the dash points, there are alum. backing plates underneath that are roughly the same size as the "foot" on the top side. i have the idea of using a single piece of alum. to attach to both sides, essentially tying the two together. when you hit a wake/wave, you can see the dashboard (black colored area in pic, which is alum sheeting) flex quite a bit. my thinking is by using one long piece as a backing plate to both feet, it would/should help quite a bit with the dashboard flexing. for the rear attachment points, you can see from the pic where they are. access to the back side to get to the nuts isn't terrible, have to remove the panel. i don't know what kind of backing plate (if any) was used on these, but they flex a fair amount too. if there are just washers or something back there, i could add some alum flat stock as a backing plate which may improve things. but if there are backing plates already in place, i don't really have any ideas on how i could improve on that. any ideas or suggestions guys? thanks...

  8. they're definitely built tough, no question about it. good luck in your search. i looked for quite a while before i found the right one. searchtempest.com (a craigslist search tool) was very helpful as was google image search believe it or not.
  9. fwiw, i would have preferred an sst transom with an outboard instead of the i/o, but there weren't any available. i had a line on a 23' eagle hardtop with the sst, 200 hp outboard and a 15 hp kicker, but somebody beat me to it. then i found the eagle i now have currently. they're getting pretty hard to come by, the eagles and the sabres. guys tend to hang on to them, and i can see why. they're excellent boats.
  10. i'm a kicker fan also. i like the peace of mind in having a backup motor, plus you'll save gas and wear and tear and hours on the big motor. if it were me, i'd get the 15hp suzuki efi with full remote controls (non-tiller model) and an itroll for fine speed control. i would estimate it would push your rig at about 6 mph at full throttle. enough to get you back to the dock in an emergency.
  11. i have an eagle 2450, but it doesn't have the sst transom (i/o motor). i can say though, the transoms on these boats are very well built structurally. almost too well in my case, it can make it hard to get access at times.
  12. thanks guys. i've tried all the suggestions above. i did change the line on one reel back to planer board line. i had some that was pretty new that i had taken off of a broken riviera reel. it slides slightly better on that vs the braid on the other reel. i also added new shower curtain clips too. but, i think i figured out what the issue is.. on my old boat, the boards used to ride much further to the back creating less drag on the releases sliding down the line. now, new boat, new boards (otter boats), and they ride totally different. they now stay pretty much parallel with the boat, forward of the transom. i believe, at this angle, the release encounters more resistance when sliding down the line since it's angled rearward to a lesser degree. as is now, it's perfectly usable. improved with the new line(s) and shower curtain clips. it's just not as slick sliding as the old setup.
