Pretty sure they are sold by West Coast Offshore Unlimited Boat Billet Swim Platforms (westcoastoffshoreunlimited.com)
Look at their Offshore Custom Platform section and you'll see some of their other models. Need to give yourself like 4-5 month lead time. I turned my order in in November and just saw they ran deposit so must of started and should be shipped within a month or so I would think. |
Solid billet aluminum swim platform? WOW....that doesn't sound cheap! Actually, it doesn't even sound expensive.....more like super expensive! but man that thing is beautiful! :hitit:
|
Ok does anyone have any idea on what the thickness is for the aluminum? I am pretty sure I found someone local to make this for me but I need to know the thickness they start with. I was thinking 1" but that seem a bit overkill?

On mine we started with 1.25

Do you have any pictures? Most on the sites are not that good. I thing I may just make it flat on top and then cover in seadeck or some thing like that.

I may just do something like that. Mine is the old tube style they added to the ends to make it fit since my boat is wider than most. Beam is 9'3 and transom is just over 8'0".

Thank you. That might be more of the route I go. We have taken a ton of weight out of the boat, especially the bow and I am concerned about balance a bit. The billet would be about 350 lbs before it gets cut and machined. So I would guess we would loose 100 lbs or so but that would still probable be over 100 lbs or more heavier than my current platform.
I really considered not putting one on it but I don't want people walking across my hatch and sunpad all the time. We are even toying with making some brackets so you can just take it off if we want with just some pins. |

All aluminum construction, powder coated to match the boats primary trim colors, would be my suggestion. It will be plenty strong enough and fairly light weight. Thanks. Brad. (937)545-8991 |
