Are there new transom mounts that look like '60s Glastrons?

[Darren Nemeth]

I have a 1969 Glastron boat and want '60s style transom mounts for tie downs.

I found this at iboats.com but it says not for use in transoms. http://www.iboats.com/Attwood_Singl...658185662--**********.571958575--view_id.2488

Can anyone suggest a good quality set of transom tie down eyes that resemble '60s crafts?

More about my boat...

Factory specs for my 14 foot boat say it was originally 450 lbs.

When finished my boat should weigh about 475-500 pounds.

The original transom eyes were mounted through one hole. I'd like to keep them that way.

Any suggestions?

I mounted mine that way

They were the same kind as you pictured

After Transom Replacement I drilled new holes, used a BIG (I mean BIG) Stainless washer and 5200 in the hole

We tubed and skied and towed and had no issue

just my .02

I never saw any "DO not use on transom" warnings

I use the same ones you have pictured on my transom also. Have towed pull toys and even a 28ft cabin cruiser behind my 14ft boat with those and never a problem. Backed up mine with a 4 inch square of 3/4 inch polyethylene sea-board and big SS washers. Maybe use someone else other than Atwood. Never been all that thrilled by Atwood quality, or maybe that's just me. Mine were made by Sea-Dog.
