As far as worn gel coat check into sea dek - nice stuff and easy to work with. If you buy the 4x8 sheets price is decent

I'll post some more pics of the platform and I'd love to see what you did with the screen for the fwd hatch.

Connor,

I saw the rest of your pics on photobucket so I have a bit better idea of what the swim platform looks like from underneath. Is it also mounted to the transom through the storage box?

As far as the screen goes, it's really nothing fancy at all. It's simply a piece of screen, cut about 1" larger, on all sides of the hatch opening. We sewed the one side of the velcro around the perimeter of the screen, cutting two 1" slits to wrap around the hatch supports and glued the other side of the velcro(hooked side) around the perimeter of the hatch opening(top side, facing up).

Hope this paints a picture...will get some pics in the spring.

The platform is bolted through the transom, 6 bolts inside the storage box and two more on the outside, outer edge below the platform. Drilling the transom gave me a chance to check whether the transom replacement of 11 years ago was fine. All nice and dry and solid, 2 inches+ thick.

Now for engine, new in 1998. The previous owner did not use it much, but sure kept it nice. Additions include battery switch for the kicker,(boy is that electric start nice) more guages, raw water pressure,fuel pressure, oil temp, and vacuum, extra, small size bilge pump as far aft and low as I could get it, additional racor fuel filter and valving to switch from one to the other while still underway. Now, if I ever see the big bilge pump running, I'll know there is a real problem.
