Well here it is. First platform made by swimplatforms.com for a Four Winns SS. Its going to add 27" at water level. I had them put Colbalt small diamond grip on the top instead of the crappy Four Winns sandy texture. Its 100% better. I hate to lose the wonderful Four Winns ladder, but I wont need lader at all with the deck on the water. I will have the ladder removed, holes glassed and use the hole as storage. I will take after pics when it gets installed this week.

Looks pretty cool. Gotta wonder if leaving the latter on it would be better. Hopefully everyone using your boat has good upper body strength.

It will have the stainless ladder that SP.com provides. I will have the factory FW ladder removed.

Oh, my bad. I misunderstood what you were saying. I get it now. Looks like a pretty sweet mod.

Looks nice. Looking forward to a pic of it mounted to your SS. Just curious, that white area with the grip holes, is that just to aid in boarding or does it have some other function? How about a pic of the underside so we can see the leds?

The hole is an air vent. Most all larger platforms have them for when you roll on a wave the air has away to escape. The 6 foot of leds get installed after the platform goes on the boat.

Damn Txjole2; that looks awesome. Expecially on the all red hull. I am really partial to those SS's I have seen all one color. Now only one upgrade remains for you - the verical pole . . . followed the link you posted elswhere to the other boating forum you play on. Man, you guys are hard-core. Wish we had that kind of boating community out here and more than that - wish I hadn't gotten too old & tired to fully appreciate it :wink:

:mrgreen: no need for a "saftey pole" on this one, its taken care of on "Crown On Tap". And yes Crown Royal really does flow from the tap.

Well i'm taking a bullet for the rest of the FW family. The platform was not a good fit, so my dealer is doing the needed glass work. Then the dealer, which works alot with SwimPlatforms.com, is making them a templet so they will have it on file for the new FW hulls.

Is this for real? Dare we ask for a pic?

Sorry to hear about the fit of the platform, at least it sounds like they can make it work - hate to think that you'd have to wait for another one to be built (or that we'd have to wait that much longer for a pic).

TRUST me the pole is not always a good thing, but it is removable. Those are only the tame pics, you should see the ones on the pay side. :P and really we've had better days then that.
