Take the swim platform off, then there's no more of this in and out off the back of the boat stuff to worry about.

EXACTLY! I have the WORST luck of anyone I've ever met lol if I haven't died yet, everyone else should be fineeeeee lol

Yes you see now 👍

Where's that measurement at Philly?
I'm waiting Tic Toc

genius.


maybe I will start just grappling my way up the side of the boat or the nose when I am in the ocean taking a swim, I mean it seems completely easy to do.....never even knew why I ever used the swim platform and the back of the boat to begin with.

In my younger years I could pull myself out of the water over the side of the boat. Now the only way I'm getting out of the water without a platform or ladder is if I install one of those handicapped car lifts you see in the public pools.
I researched the Slingshots before my purchase and never came across the hull issues that have been discussed. The boat ran great and was a blast to drive.
I can't speak for all the Slingshot hulls but if Vance hasn't had an issue I think the '03 models are safe.
That boat spends more time out of the water than in! And I don't mean on the trailer.

Agreed... The boat needs to be all around usable boat. I can easily control the throttle when the kids are running with us but taking ASD's on and off not so much

I get it... some tail is cool to have. Had some of that on my last boat

"Daddy why can't we go on the boat???" Because dear, I was too worried about you getting hurt on real drives and props so I opted for these made of safety glass. And they broke

No swimming in that scenario either! Lol

Probably no worse than a C.C. with fours egg beaters.
