On my platform, I through bolted the top and screwed the bottom. I was totally amazed and schocked when we drilled through teh transom. She was purdy and dry. ;D
Hope to get the other side installed in a few weeks. ;D

Well, didnt get nothing done, was a busy weekend with relatives hanging out for the weekend. I did manage to make up a template on how she will be looking. Decided to go with a 1" overhang all the way around.

She clears all the way REEL, in th ePicture, it looks like the motor hits, but I have clearance all the way around in all positions when the motor is tilted.
I was gonna go wider and knotch around the lower unit, but it started giving me a migrain, so I just decided to go basic. ;D

I would NOT go 1" over at least on the motor side! Just go flush near the motor and it will be fine, no one will ever notice, and will give you a little extra!

Re: New Dive Platform

SKOOL, not sure on what you mean about enclosing the platform. ??? ??? ???
I was gonna add a lip to the underside of the platform, so you wouldnt see the tubing, then router the corner. But I think I just might router the corner without adding a lip to the underside.
I might also add a rail from the platform to the transom.

I agree, flush on motor side.

That's pretty "dope" man!
