I love it! have been toying with building one for years, but do not have the necessary skills. If someone in the US could mfg. for under a grand, I bet it would be a big seller.

I have to say, I like that - it's away from the propellers. Pictures? 8)

All the swim platforms I have seen on the X and M have looked a bit silly, but have to say, this one seems to look right for the boat. 8)

Would be good to see some more photos of this from different angles, how it attaches etc. Anybody in WA that gets a chance, please take and post photos :!:
