In preparation for an early start to boating season, I have been working on installing an extened swim platform. I considered swimplatforms.com but decided on the factory swim platform. It matches the lines and does not require the struts. I picked it up from the factory about two weeks ago and have been studying how to install. So far, I have removed the risers, batteries, and generator exhaust muffler to gain acces. With all this, I also had to enlist my 11 year old son to help with the nuts on the bottom side. I will post pictures when I finish. The factory platform is the way to go for looks but is much harder to install.
