Re: Swimplatform

You have a few options....... iboats in the store sells swim platforms swim platform - iboats

Greatlakesskipper sells surplus OEM platforms Search results for: 'SWIM PLATFORM' | Great Lakes Skipper

Or if you google it there are many places that sell them .....ebay too. To get the "perfect fit/match" I would say hunting on the internet is in your future.

Re: Swimplatform

WoW!!!! I made one for a friends 24' I/O some years ago. It was made from teak flooring which was found at a boat grave yard. Brackets (4) are available in many places ~~~~ add a little 5200. SS screws were used with rubber expanding nuts purchased at a boat dealer. Time to build was about 2 hours and almost an hour to install but needed a helper to hold level. Cost to build will depend on wood used. I used teak as it was less expensive found used. No problem using oak, hickory, or any hardwood if treated but those will require a little maintenance. Should be able to it today for $250 - $300 in materials.

Re: Swimplatform

TAZ 4 Winns may be the best of 2 options or someone that supplies to them. Normally, I can find used teak to plane and build for around $300 + cost of ladder. Without being there I think your current ladder would cause some construction creativity required
