We're shopping and looking at both 370 & 400 models. Your info helps because I've been guessing we'll need to spend $5k or $6k if we find a boat without it. Thank you.

You're welcome.
In my opinion the extended swim platform is a must. I put mine on mainly for added safety with covering the drives but the additional room on the back of the boat is a huge plus too.
Don't know what your constraints are but personally I like the 400 a lot more. The anchor/windlass is a lot cleaner looking as far as how it is stored/routed. You get a bigger refrigerator and a freezer in the cabin. The galley surface is larger and the aft is more accessible. Just my .02
Good luck shopping

Thanks, I agree. Several friends have the extended platform, and it really does provide a lot of room. We'd be happy with either model, it's going to come down to the best bang for the buck.

I saw something come up in my Facebook feed where I think Formula may have an extended swim platform at a huge discount. Somehow it was made using a different mold than it was supposed to for the boat it was going on so if anyone is still looking to do this it may be worth giving them a shout. I believe you would talk the guys in vintage boats.
