Hi all, as you may see i am in Sydney Australia. I am after a swim platform to fit my 2006 180 Horizon. WHAT DO YOU KNOW!
obviously freight is the problem.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Steve


This is my boat with the previous owner...

Similar one to this would be great. I think there is one that fits on top too.

This is a 2008 in Brisbane, but the ESP will be about the same for your 2006 model.

You can order one through your dealer, or have one made here in the states and shipped to you.
Either way, it will be pricey.

Try here for aftermarket swimplatforms.

Thanks Cap'N Morgan'. The dealers are hard to get motivated when it comes to purchasing parts. Several dont even reply to emails or phone calls. Will persevere though. Someone must want some cash!! As for 'Swimplatforms in the US, they sent me an email (quick one too) with a price which you can imagine was BIG!! Trying to find a delaer that imports cars/boats etc that can put one in a sea container to Oz at a cheaper price. Will keep my finger on the pulse.
You would think there has to be one sitting in a dealership somewhere in Oz.

Thanks fellas.

I have found an exporter from Australia that has an office in Orange (CA). So does anyone know of a dealer or someone with a swim platform close to Orange? At least if i get it there I can get cheaper freight.

PLEASE PLEASE, someone must know something in the area that has Swim platforms!!

Thanks all,

:( :(

Righto fellas and gals. I have ordered my swim platform for my 2006 H180 from http://www.swimplatformsuperstore.com/index.html
for $950 plus freight with a total of cost of around $1400 to Oz.
Compare that with quote from an Aussie FW dealer of some $3000-3500 for the same product.
Has anyone dealt with SwimPlatformsuperstore?
They have been a great help.

I see people saying they had to trim or file their platforms. Why is this? Being made to a mould why or where is the trimming happening?

Sent you an email and some pics as well. If you don't have to trim, you will be lucky. My guess is you will have to do some do some adjustment.

Belt sander, or one of the Rockwell type cutters also work well for trimming / sanding. Seal up the exposed ends and you will be good to go.

Since you are top mounting this, it will be much easier than trying to attach like I did.
