Swim platform

Post by Lukeoforcas »

My new extended platform from swimplatforms.com arrived today. We are so excited to install it on the 253 and get out on the water in a couple weeks.

One of the hardest things I’ve had to do is drill holes in my cobalt transom. But, I’m so happy I did. Just a few details to finish up and it’s time to put it in the water.

Nice job. You can turn the drive in both directions without it hitting? It looks close.

There’s plenty of clearance. Volvos don’t turn very sharp. I may remove the tilt limiters, if I ever rebuild the cylinders, for more ground clearance. There’s more room up now without the filler panel in there.

It took about 6 weeks from completion of order to arrival at my end. It’s a small company building a top of the line custom product. If I do it again on another boat, I’d order it in the fall. Before boat show season. The best way to communicate with them is by phone. I think I talked to everyone there at least once. Super good folks.
