YES. No one will return e-mails. I think they hope it will just go away.

Just be patient... SC is really good at looking after us. We are all their best advertisments!! Chances are if they havent gotten back to you maybe they havent figured out a solution yet.

Would there be any interest in having some custom made ? My friend is looking for some side $. She offered to make me one for cost plus a ride or two. She says she can get good quality water repellant marine canvas in basic colors (black, grey, blue) and make a sinch cord at the base.
What would be a good price for these ?
Do a lot of you keep your boats outside?
Curious,
Joe

Joe,
I would be interested if the price were reasonable. Not sure about price, maybe $25 to $40? How much does the material cost?

Wow! The cheapy thin tops we use to cover the covers are $60 at WalMart. Those are made of shiney paper.
She was thinking ~$125, but we talked and it looks like she can do them for ~$95 if we get a few and stick to a single color. The swim platform is about 1/5 the size of the boat and those covers cost over $500 - so it makes sense.
This is heavy duty water resistant poly canvas - not cheap !
If no one wants this, then I won't put in the effort to go make patterns of all the boats. I thought it would be a cool thing to offer - like a rack jack - a little overlooked, but really convienient item for SC owners.
Maybe I'll just have mine made then everyone else can be jelous.

Has anyone out there stripped their old one to install Gator Grip or another material? How'd you do it? I think I'll make that one of my winter projects.

I asked my dealer here in SE MI for help on this many times with the same response, "Moomba has no fix" for my 03 Outback. I tried that 303 stuff this year, does not work for more than 1 or 2 outings. I keep my boat on a hoist, and the platform gets sun every night when the sun gets past what the canopy covers. What I found is using a scrub brush with some dish soap(lake friendly) before each use. A pain, but no black marks on white interior. I have even considered going to a Teak platform. 1 time a year work vs. every time out. I really wish Moomba would fix this.

Black footprints from swimplatform
I've got an '03 LSV with the same issue. I recently took a brillo pad to pull off some of the oxidized rubber. Helped for a day or two but the footprints came back. Has anyone tried coating the platform with some non-skid like used on windsurfers or sailboat decks?
