Swim Platforms
 

I'm going to order a swim platform for my boat within the next week or two and was wondering if there are any other companies besides Extreme Marine that make custom tubular aluminum swim platforms. I thought I saw another company in Ohio that advertised in the OSO Classifieds thatmakes them for about $400 less than Extreme Marine. But now that I'm ready to buy, I can't find them.

Also, does anyone have any feedback on the billet aluminum type wim platforms like those sold by Eddie Marine? They are alot less expensive, but I don't recall ever seeing a boat with them installed. They look nice, but they aren't full transom width. Thanks.

Call Jim Kruse at LOTO he builds them his cell is 573 216-4421. I have the Dana billet aluminum type swim plateforms on my boat. They are okay I may be taking them off soon not sure yet. They where in the 800.00 range a few years ago.

800 -- i'd take one for that -- 1400 is a bit tough to swallow

That was for two of the small ones. Jim custom builds tube full size ones for the 800 to 1000 range I believe. He has done several at the ozarks.

Innovative Fabrication makes the best. They build custom for Cig and many other OEM. Located in Cocoa, FL. Ask for Terry.

He usually does not make retail but will if you are not a pain in the ass. Tell him I sent you if that will make you more comfortable.

He did great job on my platform and seat bolsters.

any idea on price from innovative? just a ball park -- nothing we'd hold ya to!! ;-)

i thought bbracket did all cigarette's platforms...at least i know they used to...has something changed?

btw, bbracket is the absolute best paltform out there especially for a cig...bar none!

Those new Cigarette ones with the logo in the middle are way cool!!! I would love to have one for my boat. $$$$$$$$

Why do you not want to go with Extreme Marine? I am about to order one with them...

Re: Swim Platforms
 

B Bracket closed up shop. They're done from what I was told.

Call Kevin....He's the best in the industry. His steps are the ones you see on most of the custom big dog stuff (Cig, Nor-Tech, Dragon, etc.) He's a good friend, tell him I sent you.

What Tank said, His stuff is suppose to be awesome and a good price.

Re: Swim Platforms
 

Yep, Kevins the man as far as platforms go.

Did that take a lot out of you Dan? :D :D

I'm glad to see there's no hard feelings :eek: :drink:

How about a contact number for these guys?? ( aka Terry @ Innovative Fabrication. )

I've attempted to locate them via a public record search and basic business name searches. There is no record of the name Innovative Fabrication within Sunbiz, all switchboard, & bigyellow searches have net a zero return rate for this business name as well.

Thanks..

I think hes looking for a better price than 1800 . my buddy bought one for his super boat and its on a slip, he got two or three seasons and had to have it redone it was chipping:( . I myself think 1800 is too high, its not made of ss. so what are the phone #s of the other guys. art
