Anyone put a swim platform on the back of their Horizon? I am thinking about adding one to a 1995 220 and was interested in seeing some pictures.

The company at http://www.swimplatforms.com has a 240 picture but it appears to be newer than mine.

They sure look nice and would provide more room for my wakeboarders and the dog.

Yes, TxJole has one from them and it looks great. I am sure he will be along soon to post some pics on his H200. I also know of 3-4 other people with them and they all love them. Someday, I will add one to our boat too.

An extended swim platform is one of the best options you can buy from the factory or even aftermarket if you have an older boat. It adds approx 2 Ft to the overall length and gives a very nice area for toweling off, jumping in or preparing to board or ski. It also protects the outdrive from being damaged in a back up situation or from people jumping on to the outdrive and hurting themselves. A very nice addition and any boat I will have in the future will have another.

That is what I was thinking. We love our boat and plan on having it for a long time. Thought it would Make a great addition. We anchor and swin a lot and do all the water sports so the back of the boat is always in use.

Post those pictures guys. It will make selling this to my Admiral easier.

Did you ever ask em if they could lengthen the ladder depth?

I'm all for it but I don't want to give up the deep reach ladder that comes standard on the FW.

Being the platform is lower the 4 step ladder is plenty deep.

:idea: Try searching this forum. I asked a while ago about installing my own and received lots of help. I ended up installing an original FW's platform I bought from the dealer.
The standard ladder just gets relocated to the swim platform so no need to give it up.

I negotiated it at $1000 when I bought the boat from Winnisquam.
