Buster,
I'll try and look at the docs that came with the boat and see if it has any info on who made them. I did a visio dwg and sent to Aqua, I'll try to find that also.

OK, thank you.

It LOOKS like yours are Eddie Marine brand platforms. I just got off the phone with Hustler and they said the ones they've done on Talons, they used the Eddie platforms. He said a 24" width on each side of the drive but man that seems wide. Eddie makes and 18" and 24" width. I would be interested to know the width of yours as well since I like how yours look.

Thanks again!

I would diffidently go with these over the solid ones from Diamond you referenced (nothing against Diamond, just the design) A solid swim step should be called a "Slap Step". When you stop in the middle of the lake to jump in and do a prop check, you will find out why I say Slap Step. Unless the lake is like glass, every little wave the boat will bob up and down and the step will slap the water and splash to the point that its very annoying to just hang around the back of the boat. The step with the slots lets the water pass through.

Mine were custom made by some machine shop in Miami. Found the receipt didn't give the dimensions. here is the visio .dwg I converted to it to a . doc so you could open it here, which I sent to Aqua Step. hope this helps.
