Need a Silent Thunder swim platform.
 
Well, long story short, the silent thunder swim platform on my buddies 1988 357 Formula is in need of so much fiberglass work that its prob. better to just replace it. Just seeing if anyone out there has a good one to replace this one. Color doesn't matter, since the platform will need to be painted with White Imron. If anybody has one, please let me know. My friend has a brand new, never installed silent thunder for a 311 and it doesn't fit, so it looks like it has to be a 357 model.

Thanks!

I am seriously toying with the idea or swapping mine for an aluminum one and doing thru-hull......

If you do, let me know if you want to get rid of your old silent thunder. I would like to find one within the next 4-6 weeks.

I could help out with a S/T box, no full platform

someone on serious just took theirs off the 242, I don't know if it would fit, but worth looking into

All the differnet models/lengths use different platforms, especially the 242 platfom, that's only a single engine platform. Bottom line is you need a 357 platform.

Keep looking, there are several guys here who over the years have removed the Silent Thunder boxes and installed aluminum platforms. Do a search in this forum section for Silent Thunder, you'll find some 357 owners who have removed them. Hopefully, they didin't trash them!!!

Hey Dave, how you doing? You getting ready for the season?

Sorry spazboz, didn't mean to hi-jack your thread. Don't know of a 357 ST, guy just took off the ST from my old 292.

Pulled her for the winter, yanked the power (sold) and transom assemblies and drives. New transom assemblies shipping this week, new 502's arriving shortly. Cleaning and painting bilge, new lighting, then she goes back together.
