2008 1801 swim platform

[9milemaine]

Hello all,
I’ve got a 2008 1801 that didn’t come with a swim platform when I bought it from the original owner last year. Does anyone know where I could find one? I do not currently have trim tabs on the boat but am considering adding them this year.
Thanks!

Do that first......as they will determine the placement of the platform.

Do NOT lag bolt a platform.....Thrubolt it. Just shop online to find a platform....They are all pretty much the same,unless you have one custom built. I'd use this 2 step model for your boat....https://www.boatoutfitters.com/outboard-swim-platform-with-2-step-ladder

Thats the ladder mine has, Looks OEM. You might want to consider doing both at the same time since the lower brace will impact what size and location of your tabs.
And yes to the tru-bolting. SS lag bolts dont hold up well and break off real easy causing another headache.
