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!

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!!!

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.
