Awesome thanks, the ones in a different thread were the OEM specs but this is perfect for my visual style. The creativity and winging it approach drives me nuts. Great write-up!

Hey guys, I know this is an old thread but I was starting the same project after seeing yours. I am doing tinted epoxy instead of paint. Did you have any problems with the epoxy cracking and getting water to the plywood? Was it strong enough with out using fiberglass to not crack or get chipped up?
Thanks
It is extremely strong just as plywood, the epoxy is simply a waterproofing agent. I have not had to go back at all other than some touch up epoxy work from where squirrels chewed on 2 small areas over the winter - I hate wildlife...
I added a EVA pad this spring and it looks great and my riders love it on their knees when getting back in the boat. Highly recommend, no modifications other than don't use liquid nails on the glue up!
Hi, long shot on an older post, but wondering if you happen to have the file in the program you drew this up in? Reason asking is, is it possible to get the same data, of measurements on x/y axis but with the platform oriented straight up and down (as opposed to rotated like in the pictures that made sense for a template to be printed? I'm just trying to lay out the measurement directly on the material as opposed to printing a template.
Thanks
Greg
Yes I can supply the file, that is not a problem at all. I did not print this template but rather used it to lay out the pieces on a standard 4x8 sheet of plywood. If I rotate the platform vertically it is too large to fit on the plywood.
If you take the dimensions provided and treat it like an XY grid, layout all your points from the respective corners that the measurements come from and then connect the dots. That's what I did.
Let me know if you still want the file, I can email it today if you provide an email address

I’m curious, is this platform size and shape something that will fit multiple moomba boats? I just made a full fiberglass surf platform for my Supra, and I’m thinking this one might be the next one I make. I’m curious to see if there would be enough interest if I made a set of molds. Do these work well without a spacer between the platform and the brackets? I made built in risers on the first one I made. It would be really easy if I didn’t have to make the risers.
