Default Re: Another 25 Seafari goes under the knife

If y'all are gonna do much diving off those 25 Seafari's, you might want to mount the swim platform closer to the water than where the one on Dave's boat was mounted. The ideal location is right AT the waterline, like this one on the old Seacraft 21 "Unohu", which had a simple fold-up platform supported by cables connected to the towing eyes!
Good point, Denny. I notice Bob's had a cutout for the outdrive. I'll look at dropping mine as low as it will go without interfering with the outdrive, but I don't want to get it much lower than the cockpit deck. The coaming and transom on the 25 Seafari are high and would be difficult to climb over if the swim platform is at the waterline. I'll have to ask Connor how he likes his. He does a lot of diving and his appears to be mounted higher than mine was.
