Needing swim platform or step suggestions
 
I've just acquired a Hustler Talon 25 (stern drive model) and I'm trying to figure out what all you guys are doing to board when you've decided to go for a dip. Diamond Performance has these swim platforms, but man they're proud of them. I didn't know if most of you were using a similar solution or something removable that might not be as convenient.

Any input and/or pics preferable with manufacturer info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Buster

Buster,
Welcome to 25 Talon club. These are what we have on the back of our 25 Talon. They came the boat, but I know they were not cheap either. I just added a Aqua Perf. Swim ladder also. Will be installing a 10" grab handle this weekend also.

Dana Marine makes some nice ones that I used on my 22 Talon. Call Hustler and ask them what brand and transom angle they used.

Dean,

I like those a lot! Do you know the brand? That's just what I'm looking for. Also, can ya give me a link to the ladder so I can check it out?

Thanks!
Buster

That ladder looks like it was a challenging installation, nice result

Seems as if Dana is having some restructuring and relocation based on this post and I cannot find a web site for Dana either.

Aha, I found the aqua performance ladders here. Which model did you go with?

1063TL. Call Aqua and ask for Manny, tell him you have the same set-up/boat as mine, and he will remember! :)

W,
Yep, it was not as easy as Aqua said it would be, I had to do a few mods, and ACE hardware is just down the street from us...

OK, which width,depth and drop did you end up getting?

Do you know what brand platform yours are?
