Nice job and thanks for sharing your progress. When you refinished your swim platform did you paint or powder coat? Where did you find the replacement rubber strips that go in the base that give you grip when you stand on it

I painted for now. I sanded, applied self-etching primer and rattled canned it. It needs to repairing as before I bought it, it apparently got water in the channels and froze causing a lil damage to a couple of the tubes. So, I plan on cutting them out and replacing.

as for the rubber inserts, they have those around.. Do some thread searching and you will find guys who have some to sell. I actually filled in the channels and applied grip tape like I had on my 25ol. easier to maintain and my rubber inserts were hard.

I've given the rubber insert guy's # to several on here, see if David still has it

Man, surprised to see this in the classifieds! All that great work you've done getting it looking brand new, someone is gonna get a really nice boat at a really good price. GLWTS. What's next?

Thanks Tank,
We actually put in a pool behind the house this summer, then my daughter started a year round swim club that has meets 1x a month (both days), we missed both of our big poker runs we do and I really just questioned how much we will use in in the next couple years as we only made 3 trips this summer after all that work. Oh, we also have a small lake behind the house (landlocked) that we pull the kids behind the jet ski on a tube also. Too many options... :-(

I enjoy working on her, which usually makes up for some time that I cant actually be on the water, But there is not much left to do beside normal polish, etc.
Sooooo, I figured it might be time to sell her for now.... Realized I have had her for 5 years, bought her when she had 12 hours on motors and have 86 on there now.. So I apparently only put 74 hours in 5 years. ~15 hours a year!

I would rather someone enjoy her now and i'll get a road toy to play with more often. (looking at Jeep SRT's)
Who knows, I priced it well considering the time and money I put in updating her, so if no one jumps on this by spring, I may end up keeping her...
