Looking to buy a swim platform for my 96 v258. Anyone have one for sale or know of a good priced company? Ive looked at Swim Platform brand and like but they are really high. Looks like FW doesnt offer factory one either for my year. Maybe hoping to find one off scrap boat or something maybe used. Thanks!

I am ordering mine next month from Swimplatform.com....planning on installing in mid April
already got prepped for the install and made a stand to go on top of my tranmission jack to hold in place so I can do the job without a bunch of guys holding it in place

I have a 96 258 and put the FW aftermarket platform on mine last year. I really love it. What I liked that it had a ladder locker. Get the new ladder FW sells. It has four rungs and is longer. Its better than the old 3 rung. Feels funny on the feet until you get used to it.

That's my 2ยข worth. Good luck.
