Red Coat,

I saved some but not all of the pics. I agree the swimming platform looks very interesting.

Thanks a bunch!

I am planning to do some scuba diving off my 98X and want to build a rear deck and a decent swim platform. This one is the best concept I seen yet. Now all I have to do is figure out how to build it.

That looks like a fuel distribution manifold to me..

I first thought hydraulic steering, but the fittings and hose clamps are too cheap for that I think.

Hmm.. yeah, you're probably right. Really ugly though! :? And looks like a nasty ankle-biter with those exposed clamp ends sticking out like that! Yikes.

Hello:
I just noticed "he" put cubbies in the cockpit which means the aft floatation had to come out. Hmmmmmmm
