Like Dan said, I swapped mine out from the square older style to the newer rounder style.
Pulled the old one off, had the transom holes filled. I think it was 600 bucks to fill the transom & looks PERFECT. You need to measure where the new brackets will be for the newer swim step. They are shorter and do not come down on the sides. I had to have mine mounted up a bit higher because the inside gimbals sit so high (even after I measured:rolleyes:). Then we had the step color matched and CNC'd with the boats name on it. Here's some pics of the old and the new. Phil is a good resource and his product is VERY nice (Hope I don't get flamed for saying that:rolleyes::D). But you (being in Italy) will definately have to make sure your measurements are correct. |

another oso member and i were going to fabricate our own new style platforms this winter but he sold his boat so that came to a stop.
i work for http://www.ryerson.com/products-services/index.asp and can get all the material at barely above cost. i also work with outside shops that do whatever machining/laser/plasma/welding work that is needed. the only problem is getting drawings made. i no longer have access to a cad sytem. if someone could generate the cad files we could put a group buy together and make some platforms at a fraction of the retail price. they could all be shipped without being painted so the buyers can paint how they want. anyone want to do the cad work for a possible free platform or get paid by the hour? who else would be interested in a platform? |

I can do the cad work but I don't think it will be necessary. Its a fairly simple project. It may just take one or two hand drawn sheets to get the job done. As Tank has demonstrated its the measuring thats critical.
