Thinking of getting an extended swim platform for my 07 H190, Just wondering if any one has one, and how they like the way it fits and possible pics.

Hi Aquadisiac

I got my H190 with the factory swim platform already fitted by the dealer. It's not the prettiest option IMO, but she sure is practical and useful. We have two young kids (six & eight) and in terms of swimming/tubing/generally having a good time the extra room is awesome and it keeps little legs well away from the leg which is great for safety when jumping off the back or getting back onboard.

Cant decide if it is just a little too high off the waterline or a little big in the context of the boat length. The larger FW boats with swim platforms seem to be easier on the eye.

Here are a couple of shots which are not ideal but will give you some idea.

Unless their site hasn't been updated, they don't make one for H190 & also they don't make them for newer boats. I personally think they look kind of "cheap/after "thought the way they are added to the stern below the original deck. Just my own opinion & we all know what they say about those

They dont update their site. TxJole (on this forum has one) and his looks great. He has a 2006 H200SS...when I emailed them about mine, they said they hadnt yet made one for it. I reminded them of TxJole and they were ready to go into production. If they have not made one for your boat, they will give you full details on how to make a template for them to build one from...as is what TxJole did.

Trust me guys, these are good looking platforms....and no, I am not affiliated (otherwise I would already have one)

I weighed many options before I got mine. My dealer is the one that talked me into the one from swimplatforms.com over the Four Winns one. Plus these look 100% better then the over the top ones. Scott at swimplatforms is VERY helpful and they will take you step by step on how they want a templet. Plus I like the fact that it is low to the water and I can climb in my boat without the ladder.

The absolute ONLY advantage I can see to having a factory Four Winns platform would be that you can still you their signature deep reach ladder that most of us have. I do love that. Still...WHEN I do it, it will be from SwimPlatforms.com

Why do you need a ladder when the platform is on the water?

Jole, after a 15 minute set on a wakeboard, the ladder is a necessity. I also use mine when climbing on board when the boat is in my shop.

Wakeboard boats dont have ladders, and my platform is every bit as low as the Nautique's.

_________________

My 230's integral platform sits pretty high off the water. Even with 4 steps you still have raise out of the water a bit to catch the bottom rung. I'll never be able to get as low as yours Txjole2.

BUT I'm curious about the ladder for those who have a swimplatforms.com platform. Most of them look like under mounts. How does one stow that type of ladder from atop the platform?
