Hammer's platform was for diving. his is a little overkill for the rest of us....

here is a pic of mine if this helps.....







i would guess this style would fit OVER top of your tabs

Here's mine. It wouldn't seem to interfere at all with trim tabs. I got a 3-step telescoping ladder. It was too difficult with only one step.

I have the exact same platform as Pipe Dream. Looks like we will be out on the boat tonight, softball double header tomorrow, installation (swim platform) Thursday, Seacrets Friday, and Boating all weekend. Guess I can sleep when I'm dead...

Allow me to say...yes I am....

Well, I got the platform. IT is just like PD's. After eyeballing things lat night, it appears that I can mount the platform over the tab's cylinder with no problem. It will place the platform about 4" above the waterline, but with a 3 step ladder that shouldn;t be an issue.

Now I just have to determine if I place the handle to the inside, outside, or use both. Any words of advise there? I am think to just set mine up just like PD has his? Then again...I may put the handle on the inside, leaving the outside open and the transom eye unobstructed?

Any thoughts?

mine came with the platform. the only problem with mine is the inside handle. if you are towing a skier or tube the inside handle is in the way of the rope (if you are using both transom hooks in a triangle style tow)

just a thought, hope this helps

but it is a lot less strain on the transom with 2 handles

Here another angle. The handle doesn't much interfere with a tow rope or obstruct the lifting eye.
