Maximum Swim Platform Weight on 360 Sundancer

[Ryanm51981]

I have a friend that just picked up a Caribe Hard bottom Rib. The total weight with fuel is about 560 lbs. He was looking into mounting a hurley davit on the swim platform but he is concerned about how much weight that platform can handle. Can anyone chime in ?

I've got about that much out back on my 400. If his platform is not already reinforced (support struts to the transom), I'd imagine he'll likely do some damage. I bent a set of undersized struts (I have 4) my first year running at this weight. The platform definitely moves a bit when the waves pickup.

I suspect Sea Ray would tell you the transom is good to 600lbs...
