Swim deck
Swim deck
ISO: I need the center section for the swim deck on my '84 19BR or parts for it. Just the Stainless frame would be great I can do the Teak myself but the whole thing would be fantastic. I've been looking for one since I got the boat with no luck,they seem to be non existent.
Re: Swim deck
I'm thinking a fab shop could make you one. Have it bent up and just add the teak.

Re: Swim deck
I sure would have thought the factory would still make that up.

Re: Swim deck
I may have to do,that. It wouldn't be hard to do,teaks not very expensive and is easy to come by.Ytmsn wrote: Wed Feb 27, 2019 7:43 am I'm thinking a fab shop could make you one. Have it bent up and just add the teak.

Re: Swim deck
I keep thinking I need to give them a call and see if they might have one but at the end of the day it's still not done for some reason. I need to make a note to myself maybe that would help.Big Block Power wrote: Wed Feb 27, 2019 12:18 pm I sure would have thought the factory would still make that up.
Re: Swim deck
I called Cobalt and got the no parts older than 7 years answer like some of the other guys have gotten and spent a couple of hours this morning searching the web for them with no luck, so it's off to the fab shop to get it bent up. We'll see how that goes.

Re: Swim deck
That's a bummer. After driving through that town I bet there's a few locals with that boat in there backyard.Hoghead wrote: Thu Feb 28, 2019 3:32 pm I called Cobalt and got the no parts older than 7 years answer like some of the other guys have gotten and spent a couple of hours this morning searching the web for them with no luck, so it's off to the fab shop to get it bent up.

Re: Swim deck
It apears to be a hinged center that completes the platform when the drive is down. Flip it up for towing. Schmancey thinking.

Re: Swim deck
I agree,you would think,they would have at least a frame kicking around somewhere. He did say he thought it was great that people were fixing up some of the older boats. I'm sure that wasn't the only year they made that deck so I'm thinking they made hundreds of them. Somebody has them somewhere.....probablly in their backyard.Big Block Power wrote: Thu Feb 28, 2019 6:44 pmThat's a bummer.

Re: Swim deck
That's exactly what I'm looking for. I've seen that first picture,it's from a YouTube video. The second one I haven't but it's a good view of it. I had them make the frame a bit deeper that that one. I may need to cut it off a bit but better than too short.cmattj wrote: Thu Feb 28, 2019 9:59 pm It apears to be a hinged center that completes the platform when the drive is down.

If the flags clean up you could probably sell them for what he's asking for the whole boat.

You never cease to amaze me with your uncanny ability to locate difficult to obtain items, BBP. You're like "Red" from my favorite movie of all time -- The Shawshank Redemption. Yup, you’re that guy who has that special gift to unite hard to find things with a yearning owner. (except it's on this site & not in prison....& without the criminal history of course). (I think
