Swim Platform

Anyone ever put on one of these Garelick swim platforms?

I'd like to get an idea if it would work/look good on my Eluder.

I had a similar one on my trimate, it was pretty nice to sit on a hot day and sip on a cold one, it was mounted so it was even with the waterline while I was at full displacement. I never had to get off it.

This threads a couple weeks old, for all I know you've already gone out and bought one - but for what it's worth here's the swim platform I built for my Eluder (not the greatest photo, you can sort of see the Checkmate logo in the middle of it). I was able to use some of the original swim ladder hardware, and cut the platform out of HDPE on a waterjet. My son gave it a thumbs up the first time I pulled him on skis with the boat. It looks a little skewed, but trust me it's level - that's an optical illusion because the rubrail angles down in the rear.

Those look similar to the factory ones on my Starflite. Maybe you can find someone looking to get rid of theirs and bolt them up to yours. With the 3.0 hanging off the back of mine the sit right at the water level.
