http://www.seamount-mattson.com/singplat.htm been working on this Idea for awhile. Steering change would be simple only difficulty would be on a Mac X as the rudders lift up to high.
I was thinking more this style http://www.seamount-mattson.com/single.htm but the first one would give you the idea ,Then take stainless steel tubing and make the platform outer ring then fill in with teak. Also this opens up a storage place for additional fuel cans in a safer spot

All the Mac 26 swim platforms I'v seen have looked out of place or downright silly. Congrats on the first one that seems to work and better still, can be hidden away in the boat when not use - well done :)
