Sorry no real update except that the motor lost oil psi and is currenly out of the boat at the builder, so the whole swim platform project is on hold. Ive talked to nick at alum metal fab and plan to get it ordered once i have a better idea of what the motor build is going to cost. It will be a winter project now.
I will say that the new ladder is much nicer but the holes do not line up at all. I made some bigger ss plates to hide the old holes since it was just temporary. It also has an angle to it so boarding is much easier.

Yea it wasnt a great weekend. In a 48hr span we bought a new truck, wife lost her job, transmission went out of her car. Figured bad luck happens in 3's and we were done so decided to go boating and get some stress relief.....,,wrong. Lol. Its all good though, she already has a new job, transmission was easier/cheaper then i thought the duramax is beast, and motor is at the builder. What doesnt kill ya makes you stronger.....Life is good.

Bumping up this thread. I ordered my new platform on friday. Guessing it will be 3 weeks or so before i get it. I will be selling the slightly used ladder if anyone had interest. Used twice i think. 3 step. Windline. Angled out a bit to help with boarding. Figured i offer it out here to my velocity family first. Fyi, the bolt holes do not match , but if you are handy there are a couple solutions mentioned on this thread.

Me too. Insurance is paying for it (money has been sitting in savings since the accident). Its pretty much a wash with fixing the old or going this route. I figure it will look better and should sound better too.
