Will a diplomat center window fit my eluder? HELP

[john lamon]

Is there anyone that knows if they are the same? would anyone be willing to take a few measurements of an eluder one and someone else of a diplomat one and see if we have a match here, I found one and they look the same in pics but hard to tell for sure without measuring.

Thanks in advance

This is what the eluder one looks like, I just don't have any measurements of it I cant find any close up pics of a diplomat one, let me know if you think your diplomat window looks the same as this, please hurry, I feel as though I'm waiting for that last lucky number on the lottery

John- Are you missing your center piece? The one thing you need to make your boat complete?

 

[john lamon]

yes

Diplomat



Eluder

It has to be the same no? think I'm just gonna take my chances and buy it

 

[SippyRat]

yeah i think you should just buy it. i looked for one for my '87 Diplomat for a long time with no success.

Sorry John, My boats in storage or I'd get you measurements from it. Hope this works out. There was that guy selling an Eluder hull and parts, maybe he would sell the glass?

Thanks I got the measurements from Keith and my dealer measured the Eluder he has that I borrowed the center peice from last summer and they match

I did look into that one you are talking about and the center was missing, this one is the ticket, I just need to add 3 snaps to it for my cockpit cover and I'm in business, only took 8 months of searching, I have had sleepless nights over this and now I can relax . good thing cause my dealer is asking for his center peice back so he can use it this summer, I almost bought the whole boat from him just to get that damn window

I'll have to give you an update on what that Eluder he has does for speed, it's an I/O like yours and he put some 500 hp motor in it and a blackhawk surface drive, just cause he had the parts and boat laying around and had nothing better to do this winter, lol.

I will keep you posted on what happens with it, made a call and it's a 8.1 496 Volvo penta, I did a quick search on the net and most say 375hp - 420hp, does that sound right?

Should be interesting how it works with the blackhawk drive anyway.

The center window arrived here from Adambomb's diplomat yesterday, I made it down to the dealer and tried it out on the Eluder he has, fit's like a glove couldn't be any better fit.

So anyone that wants to know, a Eluder, Entertainer and Diplomat share the exact same center window, that might help someone looking for one, gives you more options anyway.
