That is nice, and I love the cupholders in the platform - brilliant.

Veeeery slick indeed! Matches the boat beautifully...definitely a top notch job... and well-thought-out. :drink:

:lolhit: Ive got some non abrasive grip tape. Just havent put it on yet. Its actually not that slick without it though. The cutouts actually give you some grip.

Thanks guys. I changed the design many times before i was happy. One more change to this one and im satisfied. We made a fully universal type platform that fits almost any single engine boat. Havent done a twin engine platform yet, but it will be similar.

Just curious, how are you attaching this platform? Most have a support bracket that gets mounted attached a foot or so below as well as attaching at the platform. This can make installation on some boats very tricky if not impossible.

Case in point...my Phantom...not much real estate left for mounting a swimplatform.

My 1st attempt at a swimdeck.2 3/4" sheets of King starboard.It's been on for ayear and no issues.It looks deep in the pics and does catch some water when backing down but has been fine so far.

They have lower support arms that are telescoping and are on heim joints so the mount will shape to fit your transom.

Had them on eveything from a 19ft Mariah to a 28ft eliminator cat.

How much are the universal platforms??? Is there a color choice, or do they come standard color??

Sunsation2452 03-04-2015 10:42 AM

Love your platform as well ! Yours looks clean and Innovative. I know what you mean about lack of real estate for the platform. I set this one on the transom a few months back.

I Sold my boat and never made a jig to reproduce them. I sold several of them, but I used my boat as the jig. lol. I Will double check just to make sure that I didnt build a jig and just forgot about it,
