Here are two pics of platforms that I built. The Tige platform is for the Slalom Shop pro-shop boat, the Nautique is for a local. I used XL Panel 1" thick and doubled it so the platform is a solid 2" thick. The board stop/transom saver is also 2" tall providing max protection. I cut them on a cnc table router so they are nice and precise. I sprayed them with Speedliner which is comparable to Rhino or Line X but has a softer feel and smoother finish and unlimited colors. I'm thinking about offering oversized platforms for older boats with those dinky platforms designed back in the day for skiers. What do you think? Wasting time and killing trees or fire up the chain-saw?
