Swim Platform Remake

[reelapeelin]

Just installed trim-tabs on my old V20...long overdue...swim platform had big clearance problem w/tab cylinder on port side...found a piece of Starboard from a recent project

First gotta cut out the clearance for the cylinder

Line up the now 3 pieces

And the notches for the fold-up ladder

W/a few passes at the router, counter-sink some screw holes and add the handle to the right side, she's ready to go...

Hope you enjoyed lookin' as much as I enjoyed doin'...

Reel,

Excellent job, especially on the 1/4 rounds. Although, this is not the first time I've seen this done...

How's the old V20 doing?

Very nice.

Very nice, I like the three board look versus a solid platform.

Looks great, don't you just love starboard. I bet it will outlast the metal.

Most likely...it's awesome stuff... :605_thumbs_up:

Gives me the urge to fabricate my own tackle locker.

Nice job, on the platform. I need to replace mine also, I did all the teak less than a year ago and it's a mess already.

Have you had the V20 out since the Tab install? What year V? Any install problems? I've got a set of Bennetts in the garage to go on mine, the way these boats ride I haven't been in a rush to get them installed.

Thanks 2nd Curse...she's a '74 and the only problem w/installation was where the lines came thru the transom...VERY close to inside of splashwell and didn't leave ANY clearance...

As the pic shows, I put 'em as close to outside end of the tranny as they could go...and even relocated holes in trailing edge of tab to get the top of the cylinder away from the splashwell, but still close...

Unfortunately I haven't splashed it since the install and still have wiring to finish up...my bow rides a little high since hangin' the Honda on it several years ago...the tabs will give me some control in that area...anyway, it's done and I am ready to get it wet...I'll let ya know how effective they are...

Can't really tell if you got V20 or not...if so, you'll enjoy this...
