Default Advice on fitting aftermarket swin deck to 2001 180 Diablo

Hi All,

I am planning to fit some form of teak swim deck to the back of my 180.

Anyone done this? Got any ideas or advice on doing this.

Is it a simple task or one to steer clear of?

Thanks in advance

    I'd say it's one to steer clear of. Most swim platforms made in the last 15 years are made of fiberglass, and personally I don't think teak would go with the boat at all. I'd recommend a place like swimplatforms.com sure, they may be pricy, but it'll look right, and last the life of the boat.
