I just got word my new platform is in route and due in next week. Here are a few pictures I was sent.

I ordered four cleats in case I need to strap down my dink.

Thanks, I thought I type a response but somehow it's not here.
When I bought this boat I never dreamed I would add a platform but after being on both Starry Night and Hogan VI I knew I wanted to add it and my wife agreed. I hope the install goes easy. I can't wait to get in the water.
 
Looks very nice...I have been wanting to get one for my boat, but they don't have a template for my model, and I am a little leery doing one myself and sending it to them in case I screw up the template...
 
OMG, they put the ladder on the wrong side!!! Can't wait to see it installed.
 
Be sure to post pics when you get it installed. Looks great.

Leery is an understatement I had a big advantage both Hogan and Starry Night have the same boat and we all wintered close to each other. I took a ton of measurements many time before I sent in the info. It would have been easy if Hogan would have pulled his shrink wrap a little sooner but it was still snowing and I wasn't about to pull mine either. I had my mechanic trace the template from the back of my boat it was a PIA due the the beam and wind. I think he did a good job but I'll find out soon.
The mounts are a complex set of angles that have to be perfect or else I have a big problem. The pictures look right but could be off by a mile and I wouldn't know until I try to mount them. It's going to be interesting to say the least.
 
Looking at those pics Dave, the white trim the put on the bottom looks very white compare to the 'beigy' gelcote they used.

Your boat looked more white than those pics are showing.

Platform looks good.

Need any help installing???
 
It's hard to tell from the pictures but I think the paint will be right. They ordered Trojan white they only used one color from 96 to 01.
As for the install I'm having Jimmy install it I'm only helping. I plan on using the davit to lift into place while we install the mounts. If everything goes right it should only take a few hours to complete.
I have been waiting for the perfect day to finish bottom paint and polish now I'm going to be rushing next week. I finished the helm last week so I should be ready to launch next weekend or shortly after. can't wait.
Here are a couple of the final pictures of the helm.

These picture don't do it justice but you can get the idea.
 
Wow it's huge. (that's what she said) You really could put a nice brass pole in the middle and invite entertainment.

good luck!

That may be a good idea I can charge a cover charge and make back the money I'm paying for this.

I guess you have never been on Relentless!
 
The poles on Wake-N-Waves have had very healthy workouts as well!

2 poles, no waiting!

One for Pattie, and one for you?
 
Last time they got used it was Tracey and Dina.

I may have lost a lot of weight but I'm pretty sure no one wants to see me swinging on a pole!
 
Dave, both the helm and the swim platform look great. I assume they do not know about the pole you mounted in the cabin next to the trapeze.

Rommer, some people may want to see you swinging on a pole - the gallows pole. As I am sure many some would like to see all of us hang.

I am looking forward to getting splashed next weekend....

John I didn't reconize you today you look great I'm sure it was hard work but it's paid of. Someday I would like to pick your brain about it. My brother in-law (who lives in Japan) has been considering his options I'm curious on your opinions.

But you right I'll still take a pass on the pole dance. Nothing personal but I don't want to see any guy doing a pole dance.

Bill I thought I told you to keep the Trapeze a secret.
 
I was told that I must wear a speedo this summer and I can assure you all THAT ain't happening anymore than I'll be swinging from a gallows!

Thanks for the compliments Dave, it has been a tough road but I have to say it is now worth it. Hard to say if I would do it all over again but I'm always happy to answer questions about something as important as weight loss options.

The first trapeze type chair I ever saw on a boat was out in Block Island. It was quite a sight!
 
John, I have a picture of that trapeze, with the owner in it! I'll have to find it and post it.
