Finally installed the swim platform. Guys at Swimplatform.com were extremely helpful as it is scary as hell cutting and drilling into your boat. Have since removed old ladder and plugged holes. Polk Audio speakers are hooked up to Alpine CDA 118 marine unit and amps which was a project from a couple weeks ago.

Good job. How long did it take? Where did you purchase yours from?

Cannot wait to get mine. I am currently getting mine made for my 2006 H180. Swim Platform Superstore in Commerce City, Colorado.

Anyone had dealings with them? Have been in comms with them via email and very helpfull. Freight to Australia, Sydney is all up $465.
Platform $950 with all fittings.

Get a buddy to help and figure on 3-4 hours. Hopefully since you have a newer boat and they have made one for that style, your initial fit will be closer than mine. I had a hour + in triming and sanding the platform so it was better contoured to my boat. Mine was from Swimplatforms.com.

Went to Lowe's and got every last red paint and white color chip and then sent Swimplatforms.com the ones that were closest to the boat. Glad I did do the upgrade with the red as opposed to just white.

There really isn't a thread with step by step instructs. The Swim platform you bought will have the instructions that you need.

I'm really wanting to add a swim platform, but they are so expensive.
