Swim Platform

[pkelleher40]

I'm looking to purchase a swim platform for my 25' general marine. Just seeing if anyone on this forum may have some insight as far as where to look. I'm thinking teak, but i am open to suggestions.

Thanks Bill. I have been looking around at used ones, but it seems as though none will fit the curvature of my boat. I think i will have to look into a new one. Butler marine seems to have a handle on it. I will call them today. Thanks for the suggestion...

check these guys out for a used one. I bought one to make a bench, they had 15+ of different shapes and sizes. You will need to go and find one that fits your boat.

Talk to Stacey. He may have a mold for one. He has molds for the rest of the boat, I would think he has a swim platform mold

Thanks Eslang, Stacey was on the list to call as well. Just seeing what the forum members had to say.... good vs. bad experiences, as well as other avenues to explore that i might not have already thought of...
