New Dive Platform
 

Well guys, a local guy called me yesturday, he owns this V in town and does welding. He built this platform for his boat and knew I wouldnt mind having the same thing. He just got certified in diving and looks like we might be doing some swapping for dive gear for some alum. He's coming over Monday to measure it all up.
He will make the frame and I'll install it along with adding starboard as the platform. Gonna be 30 or 36" wide. Pleanty of room to board with keeping your dive gear on. Hope it have her done before the get together in June. ;)

WOW, that dude's platform looks GREAT!!...he does nice work, but it looks like the motor would HAVE to be tuned to straight position B4 tilting up...just me, but I'd avoid paintin' myself into that corner and leave center open enough for motor to go up while turned...it's gonna happen sooner or later :o ...



JMHO ;) ...

Re: New Dive Platform
 

That will look great on your V Hammer. I agree with Reel on being able to tilt the motor in any position. A full swim platform is on my want to do list.

2ndchance, you have the bracket already. You just need to mount the starboard overtop the bracket and add supports on either side.
This guy...well kid better show up on MOnday. He does great work, but worried about being dependable.
He's a bit more relaxed now towards the police. A few months ago, some drug dealers from Wilm. came down with shotguns to blast away a guy who ripped them off. The drug dealers went to the wrong house and were at his house by accident. So when 5-O rolled up "us" we took them al down. He know loves teh police. *;D *
