Has anyone ever ordered a swim platform from swimplatforms.com? They seem to have quality platforms and each one is made specifically for your boat. I have been thinking about ordering one, and I was just wondering if anyone here has already purchased one, and what it was like.


Thanks in advance,
Matt

I looked into it for my 225. Swimplatforms.com had never made one for that model so they wanted to send me the stuff to make the template.... I did not feel comfortable doing that because if I screwed it up and they made the swim platform it looked like it would be my problem. I ended up ordering the one from Four Winns and had my local dealer pay the freight for it as they ordered it with their spring shipment. I installed it myself. With some patience and careful measuring it was an easy task.

Thanks, they have the pattern for mine, but the cost is $1,200 and another $300 for the shipping. Is this pretty average or is it on the expensive side? I just want something that looks like it's supposed to be there, and not just a generic model that doesn't look like it belongs on the boat. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I got a quote from swimplatforms.com as well and their price was right at $1200 for the platform and then $300 to ship it for mine also. But to be honest...I am not thrilled with how they look. I called my local Four Winns dealer. $1700 for the platform and to have it installed. Plus, it is made by Four Winns and looks much better in mu opinion. I am pretty handy...but did not want to take the chance at installing the .com platform myself. Call your local dealer and see what they can do for you.

WOW!!!!! I gave $1800 for my whole boat last fall and it had a swim platform molded into the hull. I feel really lucky right now.
