Well the sun is high in the sky and the July heat has finally kicked in here in Central Ontario Canada. As a result of this, I"m finally thinking about boating with my 1999 Chaparral 180se fibreglass bowrider boat. One of the key features of this boat that I was missing when purchased from the factory was a swim platform. In this video I show you how I took a problem and solved it by making my own wooden swim platform. Check out the basic design and methods I use to mount the swim platform to the boat. This isn't rocket science here! With some shaky hands and 3M marine adhesive, the whole process of attaching my woodworking project to my untouched boat was a bit hair-raising. Despite the fear that comes with drilling holes into your fibreglass boat below the waterline, things turned out for the better and I"m now several years along after the installation of this wooden swim platform. Don't be afraid, you too can create a nice addition to your boat with a bit of basic woodworking skill and some tips I give you in this video. Ahoy!
