Swim Platform

The width is about 7 feet... I have a ladder enclosure on the opposite side that I didn't want to cover, it is basically symmetrical on the transom. It is just for my davit and Rib to sit on without clogging up my main platform. Dealing with the mfg was great... quality is spot on as well, very happy with the pkg... SP was over double the price and long wait...
 
So here's a sample of what they built for me. The first one shows how off center, and crooked the smooth line in the platform that is supposed to match my boat is. I don't remember what it's called right now.
The wide tape is the smooth line that they made, and the single tape is where it should have been to match the boat.
The second one shows one of the spots that the white shows through.
I have more pics. I took the platform to court with me, and the judge that didn't know the transom from the bow could tell the poor workmanship.
I paid $50,000 for that boat, there was no way that was going on it.
BTW, he purposely didn't pay me completely, leaving the change off of the check, something around .56 cents.
I left the claim open with the courts, so it's there collecting what little interest it does.

He actually had the nerve to tell the judge that I was too picky, so he fired me as a customer.
That was after I paid him in full.
I didn't notice the flaws until I got it home and started lining it up to the boat.

While the cost was higher than other MNF’s and the led time was a touch longer IMO when you are adding an aftermarket item that will see the amount of use the platform will/does and how it changes the fit, form, and function of the boat trying to saving what amounts to (2) gas fill ups seemed out of line.

I prefer to buy improvements one time and I am willing to spend more or wait longer to ensure I get the what I feel is the best.
 
I think I'm going to hold off on the extended platform, my Nautley davits are due in tomorrow along with the merc 15 4 stroke, finally getting somewhere...…. Happy summer to all you guys!!!!!
