Jassman had a couple built that were designed to flow into the lines and molded platform of his 43 Nortechs. I think this is the look you are going for Mike.

Check out the new 35 Zr Open in Powerboat and on their website. It has one on it and it looks sweet.

Contact Josh at http://www.donzidirect.com/store/
The tubular swimplatform is on the front page, and as Tommy said it looks sweet.

I'm in the process of buying one from West Coast Offshore, http://www.westcoastoffshoreunlimited.com/ . Yet to take delivery, but so far they've been very helpful and seem to have a great product. Worth checking out.

Well its done. Looks outright awesome. It really extends the sleek look of the 38. Best part is it came with a huge ladder. No more climbing on the drives to get in the boat in hopes you dont slip and catch a prop off the nxt drives.

FYI: One of the complaints on the 35 Open is even though it has a platform it's still pretty high off the water for actual usability.

That was from Randy Vance's review in Boating Magazine. I was there for the test and was surprised to find that comment in his writeup since the platform was never tested. The platform comes with a large, four-step telescoping ladder that extends far below the waterline, so boarding is easy. Also, if the platform was any lower, it'd be in-line with the through-transom exhaust.

This photo demonstrates these facts fairly well. I took this shot of the actual boat that was tested. https://www.donzidirect.com/catalog/...157/image/307/

Cool

Josh, not sure what Randy Vance wrote but I will be ordering one for the 43 ZR this winter, if it's at the same levell or a little lower than the molded platform what's the issue.
