It follows your boat wherever you go, then when you need one you just push a button and it comesto your boat to do your beckon....I think

Remotely controlled hydraulic SP? Isn't that ER tight enough on that 320 yet?

Maybe he's talking about a radio remote? Either that or a swim platform that you can drive around via remote control.

Ya know, I am a pretty nice guy and can take a joke as well as anyone. But after this post, I realize now why so many guys that visit forums for information get turned off.
I may have mis-stated a "remote" rather than "hydraulic lift" swim platform, but I don't think it was so absurd that it called for ya'll's demeaning tones.
My mother taught me that if you can't say something nice, don't say it.
Hampton, yep the ER is quite tight already. And although a hydraulic swim platform would be nice, I don't think a 320 could even handle it. Thus my "thinking."

A little heckling and joking is just a part of free advice on the internet. It's all in fun, don't take it personal or serious.

Guys, I've been around long enough on forums to realize the heckling etc. And I really don't get wrapped around an axle. However, I can surely see why many get turned off from visiting forums like CSR.

you would have to admit that the original post was a little vague!

I new exactly what he meant, when I read the title.
Here is a company I have seen advertisements for. On there website info indicates for boats from 38 to 80 feet.

I do not have technical knowledge, but I would think it would make a 320 extremely stern heavy.
Heck I thought I was being nice asking. Personally I thought you were talking about a remote stereo controller. Not sure why you would want a remote controlled swim platform on a 320. I've seen them on much larger boats where they will have a jet ski/launch/dinghy garage/port. They will launch then close it back up. When the jet skies/launch returns they push a remote button and it opens back up to retrieve them.
Gary must be offline, he did not give you a hard time.

My thoughts were that the weight of the unit alone would be much to heavy, let alone adding a jet ski! So the thought process for this was a bit premature and a bit Polish! But being Polish I have a lot of these hair-brained ideas.
