Very nice I've wanted to do this to mine many times. Do you have a parts list for that?

Yes sir....

Left and right curved brackets:

Pair of 3bolt brackets:

Pair of 20inch 20lbs gas struts:


I'm going to order a set of 15lbs and 10lbs gas struts to see if I like them better. The 20lbs ones are fine, but I'm going to try the 10 and 15 to see if they're a better fit.

Very nice! Had the starboard seat fall on my sons head once when he was getting something out of there. Once you dial in the right strut I’m totally doing this. Great job.

Got some time to finish up these three today for the 232. They look very nice in person. Finally figured out how the pattern I wanted and kept everything as symmetrical as possible. I think once in the boat they will look even better.

Got them in the boat today. It looks so good in person. And the vinyl is a perfect match to the OEM Cobalt color. Can't wait to get the rest of the seat cushions done, and then finally the sun deck.

Some of y'all were asking how high the swimplatforms.com extended deck sits when the boat is in the water. Took a video while we were out today at Lake Travis that may help y'all decide if you're still undecided. Sits about 1 to 2 inches off the water if the water is perfectly still. With a little bit of waves it gets splashed and stays nice and cool. It's the perfect height.

Can I ask what strut you used for both the seat and anchor locker?
