Just finished X-ing up my boat, check out the swim platform (don't you think MC should do this???).
All the lights and speakers glow with blue led's at night, What do you think??

nice job on the platform.what did you use? a router and a steady hand? looks cool. i would think that the "N" on a nautique would look awsome, also. and it seems it would add a little traction too.

i cnc cut a plasic template which i used as a guide for my router, it is a one off.
The thing on the top of my cover is a solar powered fan which sucks the damp air out from under the cover when the sun comes out. this dries the carpet in one day, also a one off.

I don't eveny you towing your boat through the UK. The roads over here in the USA are much wider

The platform is cool.
Excellent backing too!

Tells us more about the solar cover vent!

(ktmwakeboarder)

all that is amazing. way to go

Those vents are available here in the states. I've seen them at a dealer, they work really well.
The name of the dealer escapes me..I'll remember it in a while.

That platform is just sick. Nice work on that

Platform looks great. Only concern I would have is that without a rolled edge, it will start to splinter. I also would have gone with some more speakers on the tower rather then all the lights, but maybe you do a lot of boating after dark.

(djpurnell) · (djpurnell) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 09-14-2004, 9:29 AM

I was woried about splintering also, we'll see what happens. the reason for putting two speakers on the frame instead of four was i hate too much mid range i am a bass head, (hiphonics collosus and a phoenix gold ti elite (2.4KW RMS) finish my install !!!!!! )

Bass is good.!! Try filling in the x groove on the platform with white P-tex. That would look killer.
