2010 outback v swim platform questions

[Cactus371]

Today while on the lake my swim platform came off and sank to the bottom of the lake I guess. Noticed when we where surfing one side was lose so was trying to limp back to dock when the other side broke. First question is where can I get another one and second do they make a surf platform?

Sorry, I cant help you on a replacement other than calling your local dealer (I am sure you already thought of that), but that really sucks! a four year old boat and the platform falls off? WTF!

Yea I think a platform pin came out and then the water ripped it off

I have been working on a surf platform this weekend. I have some hydroturf on the way for a top pad.

Probably not a good alternative for your situation as your brackets are probably at the bottom of the lake.

Used plywood encapsulated in fiberglass.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/31/4agy5uzu.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/31/yquqeveg.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/31/2eze3yga.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/31/5ubamudu.jpg

Did you check to make sure this isn't any damage to the transom?

[Cactus371]

Yea I did the transom is good. The pin on one side came out then the platform broke away from the other side bracket. On the bright side looks like I'll be getting a surf platform now. Lol

Replace those spring pins with some SS nuts & bolts!

That surf platform looks a lot like the one that we made (as a prototype) for my boat. made a huge difference.

That said, YES, skier's choice does make a surf platform that you can buy OEM. IIRC, you'd be into it about $1000.

Looks to be the same shape. Can't wait to see if it helps my wave.

[Cactus371]

Talked to dealer today it will b a little over $1100. That's with sea deck and factory matched paint to my boat.

Mine helped tremendously. My factory platform was digging into my wake and robbing me of push.

I have a big thread on it here: http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=800106

I have the 2011 platform if you find that you need a new one. I replaced it with the 2012 platform.
It leaves a small hole that you could surf into. The new platform needs to be lowered as bit.but it did clean up the wake.
If you add a ibs you can make a pretty long pocket for a obv

[Cactus371]

Thanks for the offer but I ordered a new one from dealer Friday
