Swim Platform Idea
Hey guys, I've been tossing an idea around of building a full swim platform for my boat... But I have an outboard. I wanted to cut around it and have the center hinged so I may flip it up to tilt the motor up for transport or service... any ideas, or thoughts on this?

Make a mock up with cardboard and duct tape. You will have to allow for full lock to lock steering at all trim levels, not sure how much space that will take away. How much setback are you thinking? It can be done as easy as buying a couple old swim platforms for the stainless tubing or using aluminum angle welded and painted. But I see no problem with the platform having a hinged section for the outboard. Like I said how much setback and how far your outboard sticks out will determine the usefulness of the hinged section. I know i enjoy fishing off the swim splatform on my V. Until a remora grabs your toe......

That is the glory of a cardboard mockup. Lets you figure out what looks good and suits your needs before cutting.
