a buddy a mine just got one of them 195lx's. he had the extra swim plateform put on by the factory. to me, it looks like the extra plate form is an afterthought. it just bolts on flush to the exsiting short plate form already there. one note. last weekend at the lake was a shade windy. large waves. i guess, while floating about that my buddy took a wave from the stern and it crawled halfway up the sunpad engine cover. sounded like the swim plateform worked well at helping scooping up that wave........ just food for thought.....IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE IT INSTALLED AFTER PURCHASE?
