Swim Platform

I own a 2007 22' Cruiser. Does anyone know if Triton gets the swimplatform from an outside vendor or do they make them in house. I am looking to place another swim platform on the starboard side. If so who is the vendor and about how much.
 
They make them themselves. I ordered one about a month ago and received it about 2 weeks ago. They had to build it since they don't keep extras lying around.

It is very sturdy, and it comes with a 3 step ladder (some earlier ones were only 2 step?).

The only problem I'm having is getting in touch with them so they can tell me what hardware to use to install.
 
Hi there is the install requiring removing fuel tanks etc for access or using fittings like toggle bolts epoxy bonded for outside access? Thanks
 
I haven't started the install yet, and I'm still waiting for Triton to respond with instructions. I guess there's less motivation since I paid already...

Anyway, I'm guessing you'd use 2 bolts near the top, with the nuts and washers inside the splash well. I've heard the lower screws are more like lag bolts that just go in to the core, but I'd personally rather take the tank out and go through so I can undercut the hole and use epoxy.

I'm not sure you even need the lower fasteners if you were using 4200 as a backup since the top ones are the important ones when putting weight on the step. But it might be possible to just do 3 bolts through in a V layout (2 at the top corners, one lower in the middle) with the lower one just high enough that the hole is in the splash well.

The reason I haven't made progress installing mine is partly due to the weather, and also partly because I haven't decided how to repair the old kicker bracket holes where the swim step is going. Gelcoat patch kit? Life caulk? Bare epoxy? Take it to Tern Boat Salvage for a professional repair?
