sanding the teak swim platform. This thing is going to look really nice when finished.

Nice job on the teak swim platform.

You had mentioned earlier in this thread that you were going to build a fiberglass swim platform. You must have changed your mind?

If you had built a fiberglass swim platform, how would you have gone about making the mold and doing the layout schedule on the fiberglass? I'm interested in helping one buddy add a fiberglass swim platform to a 1978 18 foot BeachCraft open-bow runabout. If this works, another buddy would like to add a fiberglass swim platform to his 1996 20 foot Glastron open-bow runabout. The cost from the two swim platform manufacaturers in Arizona would run around $1500-$1600 for a delivered swim platform. Far too expensive of a proposition for these two older boats.

Here are a couple of links that show some [incomplete] pictures on how one marine fabricator makes fiberglass swim platforms.
