I'd crawl off the side of the boat and use it as a shade...seriously, as large as that is, I see it being nothing but an issue. You know how it goes...."it will hold as many people as there is room." Next thing you know its ripped off the back of the boat and hanging on by one bracket. I had a big factory platform on the back of an all composite supra and one of the bolts pulled through on that. The problem is, you know its good for 600 lbs, the minute you turn your back and walk away, 8 people, hopefully not heifers 
will be bouncing off the back of it.

Now women? Well....if you can find 600lbs of them that will fit on it then you need to reevaluate your ho's.

Upon researching more, it sounds like the most frequent failure mode is from waves pounding it upwards. If it isn't vented then that creates large upward forces on the platform.

I don't think it's that big of a problem at all with the weight. In reality it's big enough to have three normal sized dudes standing on it unless you like to get butts to nuts with your bro's.

Hmm have to ask with name like hogie roll that alone sounds heavy. You might need to stay off your own EXXXtenended platform. just messin with you.
IMO I think they ruin the looks of a sportboat. A big pig deck boat app I can see it having one especially that big.
