Ihave a way to solve any worries we run a 24' grady w/hard top, we have the reels at the back of the hard top. we run 35" dual boards with a hard angle cut on the front so they pull harder to stay tighter in turns. we put a 1/4 inch stainless eyebolt in at the furthest point forward on the frame of the hard top then attached a medium weight 3" long spring to the eye boly then attached a smaller big jon style pully to the spring and they run great. It may be a little trial and error on which spring to use. Good luck if you have any questions you can call me at 716-796-5372 thanks Jim
