Re: Finished The Swim platform..

geezuz, 200 bucks for install? everyone near me wanted like 400-500

I think it was the Local sale discount. Actually it was $250 for the install.

See my quote from them.



"We are having a platform installation special. Normally we have a
flat rate of $ 400 to do a platform installation. Give us a call at 602-431-8225
or reply with this quote to set up a installation appointment and we will do it for $ 250."

A couple of times I forgotten to put up the Ladder and went cruising 25mph. I didn't even notice the ladder was down performance wise. I't didn't hurt it any. I suggest to remember to put the ladder up before going underway.

I'm sure I'll do it a few times I've watched people drive for 1+ hours with theirs down..

The ladder goes so deep and I'm sure it was designed to handle such "Opps I forgot the Ladder" incidents.

Did I say I love my Swim Platform. How much did it cost Me.

$$$$ Oh well that is long forgotten.

When I wait for friends, I take it down to the boat and watch tv shows that I've missed on it

Looks good! The platform looks a little low with an outdrive. Are you able to trim the drive to trailer position without hitting the platform or is their a removable area in the platform? Just curious as I have been planning to build a platform.

Re: Finished The Swim platform..

cant put the drive all the way up without it hitting, no - but it goes plenty far for trailering.

I accidentaly discovered this when I raised it up for the first time and heard a CRACK somewhere.

good reason for a trim gauge, that you adjust so you know when your topped out.

i really like it man, but geez my boat and trailer cost $1500 when i got it .

Really !!!! ???

I put my trim all the way up without hitting the Platform.

They installed it with the Trim all the way up. I have maybe 2" clearance.

Re: Finished The Swim platform..

yeah my boat has this weird ridge on it... the platform was def molded to go under that ridge, so I installed it as high as I could....which is actually very not high
