Default swim platform

Does anyone know if they make a swim platform for a Talari?

    Mariah never made extended swim platforms. Here's an aftermarket company that makes them:
    Swimplatforms.com
    Many new boat manufacturing companies use swimplatforms.com to make their extended swim platforms, and a few of our members have them on their boats.

    Hello All,

    I have just recently purchased a 2008 Mariah SX20.
    I'm looking to add a swim platform upon it.
    Can anybody offer advise? Or where I can get one?

    Thanks
    John

    John,

    As Chris mentioned, you can purchase one from Swimplatforms.com or (since your boat is a Sea Fox Mariah) from a Mariah dealer.

    The Mariah platform looks decent, has the "sun burst" logo, and runs about $1800 if I remember correctly.
    The Swimplatforms.com looks better (in my opinion), and runs about $1500 I believe (but they have terrible lead times during the spring).

    You may need to look at the original Mariah platform (pre 2002) from Swimplatforms.com, but the boat molds are the same and will fit fine.

    Definitely get one! I added mine 2 years ago and love it! It's like building an addition to your house - more square footage. The added protection of covering the lower unit from kids jumping in is worth it alone.

    It dont matter, send them the info on your boat and they will send you back a template to design one for your boat... I contacted them and they sent me some instructions.. I took a look at it and thought it might be in my project list for next year.
