I just bought my boat a few weeks ago. I was was wondering if anyone knows of an available extended swim platform for a 1998 RX. I see that FW lists some for other horizon models, but not the Rx. Thanks in advance |

Welcome Aboard! Since you have access to the machines, why don't you have a nice unit fabbed up and then powder coated! you could make a real nice unique unit. Stainless tubing could be bent and welded to make the frame, a "starboard" plastic sheet could be used as the center. Some custom features might be: 1-LED lights above (for night boarding) and below (to add some "spice" to your midnight dips) on separate switches of course. 2- A removable center to access the prop to be cleared of weeds and for inspection. 3- Relocated ladder in it's own sunken compartment. 4- A second sunken compartment for use as storage of water shoes or a cooler for your "beverages" 5- A rail system to tie up your tubes to, or fix a table to it for barbecuing. I am sure you will eventually think of many more uses. Good Luck. |

You can still get them from FW since the hull is identical to the more recent 183 models. Send me a PM with your email and I'll forward the quote with part numbers. The cost last year was about $1,400 not including installation, which is probably another $500 unless you're comfortable drilling holes in your hull below the water line. |
