Has anyone added a ski rope locker to the floor of a swim platform? Any pics? There is a lot of room under many integral swim platforms but would want it waterproof and atractive.

Would I be safe in assuming, that you mean a fiberglass platform?

If so, the best option would be to grind away some of the coating underneath, until you get bare fiberglass. Then glass in a tub(of fiberglass) under there for storage. Access to it would depend on the design of the platform.

I Doubt That'll Ever Happen.............

You'd want it Well Drained rather than Waterproof.............

Also make sure it wouldn't interfere with the Outdrive, in All Positions,.....
Or with the Water Flows off the hull.........

mount a cleat on the stearn. that's what we've allways done. you can take you rope in carefully and take 1 loop of rope wrap it around the whole mess several times and run the loop thur the bunch and it makes a hanger.
