teak swim platform - anyone selling

Post by BobCT »

Looking for a teak swim platform for my mid cabin but the wide beam makes them hard to find. Mine is around 12' wide. Plenty of 10' wide platforms around for a couple of hundred bucks. I know I can get one made but this is purely a cosmetic upgrade so it has to fall in my lap cheaply :)

RWS - where did you gets yours? Was that factory?

Mine is factory.

This boat has factory teak as follows:

swim platform
top otf transom & gunels
bow pulpit
removable cockpit step
footrests/stsps on port & helm seating
aft flagpole staff (non-factory)

and a beautiful 2' x 3' honeycomb piece in the floor of the head above the shower sump.

The teak requires annual attention. but it is surely worth the effort.

The overell style, the stripes & logos and the teak make this boat shine above the bubble boats and those that look like a bar of soap that was left at the bottom of the tub too long.

Dock me neat to a new 33' ANYTHING and she still looks great. Hard to believe she was designed nearly 30 years ago.

In boating terms, I suppose you could call her a MILF.

Hey Bob,

I guess Im # 3 in line... I`d rather wait and see what you guy`s decide rather than step on the toes of a fellow Trojan owner. Shipping to CT. should`nt be that bad.

Thanks, Rick - F-36 / Miss Kitty

Keep in mind that the camber or crown, on the meter boat's stern is not same the same as an F series.
