WANTED Factory swimplatform for a 1995-2000 370EC

[fwebster]

If someone has or knows where there is a factory swim platform for the wide body 370 Express Cruiser, please PM me. There are 2 boats in our area that had TNT lifts on them but are now owned by fishermen and the hydraulic lifts are too big to fish over.

Price isn't important but must be somewhere near reasonable.

Also, one of these boats still has the lift on place, so if you want to trade your OEM platform for a TNT hydraulic one, I'll put you in touch with the right guy to discuss a trade.

Frank,

I'm sure you already did, but Flounder Pounder may have one. Their site says to call for a specific model-

When you're hunting, the first year for the wide body 370EC is 1997. Earlier than that and it will be for the 1990-1995 350/370EC and DA.

Go to swimplatforms.com They make alot of swimplatforms and the owner worked for SeaRay for 30 yrs before venturing out on his own.Worth a try. I put one on my 1995 270 sundancer and was better than factory.

We tried them several months ago and they do not have molds that will fit. The only option they offered was for us to take one of their platforms and start cutting and grinding to make its contour fit the boat we are working on. If we are going to do that much work, we'll just build one from scratch.

Flounder Pounder has one that is close to a fit and we are waiting on pix and drawings from them now.

Thanks..........but we would still like to find a 370EC platform if there is one out there somewhere.

Frank-
Do you know the dimensions? A friend of mine has a factory platform he removed from a 2003 400DB to install a lift. Seems like it may be close since I believe you said the 370 is a widebody. Of course, the transom curvature needs to match as well. It's a long shot, but may be worth a try...

Tim,

The guy who needs the platform had a TNT lift on the boat but he uses it for fishing and needs the narrow OEM design. The marina in Panama city has several platforms but all either require too much alteration to fit the relatively flat transom on the 370EC or are too wide. I'll ask them to look at a DB platform and see if they think it will work.

thanks for helping !

Frank

Update: The guys involved in this have decided to use a platform from a 630SS and alter its contour to fit the 370EC. Flounder Pounder had this one and it is apparently a very good fit and is only a few inches shorter than an OEM one.

We appreciate everyone who tried to help out.........thanks!
