Before I had one made I'd go on the hunt to find a salvage boat somewhere with a platform. It's out there!

Find a fishing buddy with a good high definition sonar, grab a case of beer and start searching. I'd think it'd show a decent profile.

So I had our factory extended swim platform come loose a couple weeks ago. Had the lilypad tied on and then the extra rope tied up to the ski post, that is what saved it.

Hulled it back to the dock and then slid it back in but the right side pin will not lock. If I pull hard there is enough room for the pin to depress and allow it to slide out. I have secured with some rope for now but curios if you ended up finding the platform and if those pins can be replaced.

Thanks,
Tim

So brought the boat home over the weekend to try and figure out what happened. The buttons on the bottom of the extended swim platform are threaded. The port side I was able to snug up. Not so much on the starboard side. Cross threaded and the post is way to long to get the cotter pin to catch before the latch pin releases.
