Default Swim platform for my Jubilee 244

In the next couple of days I'm planning on ordering a swim platform for my Jubilee 244 from swimplatforms.com. Based on my various searches, it appears that most people have been very happy with Swim Platforms. Any last minute words of wisdom? Any of the Jubilee owners on here have this platform?
Thanks, Dave

    Everyone I've ever seen has been pleased with swimplatforms.com, and they seem to be the most well recognized name in aftermarket and OEM swim platforms. Let us know how it turns out!

    Only advice I have is to follow the directions carefully and be prepared to run up to the hardware store. Mine was missing certain hardware and had too much of others (no, I wasn't even drinking!).

    Excellent build quality, but their lead times are terrible this time of year. One other piece of advice, put a dab of 5200 caulk on each of the plastic inserts of the ladder to "glue" them on. They fall off a bit easy.

    I had a custom one made out of composite decking. It works great!

    I finally had mine installed a couple of weeks ago. I wish that I had done it a couple of years ago. It is by far the best thing that I have done to my boat, and I strongly recommend swimplatforms.com.
    The ladder is now located on the starboard side, instead of the port. It makes getting in and out of the water much easier, as you don't have to cross the whole platform each time.

    That looks really good, a very custom but factory look. Good job!

    Looks great!

    What did you do where the existing ladder was on the port side?

    Where the old ladder was, is now covered up by the new swim platform. And that is another nice feature. Previously the ladder was on top of the platform. It was always somewhat in the way, and required some careful stepping. Now, the ladder is mounted under the platform. As you can see from the pictures, it is now totally smooth. I don't have to worry about me or any of my kids tripping over it.

    I was going to say it looks like the new platform totally covered it! Very nice!!
