ill pass that along.

I custom one all done up to these dimensions was to be about $1650 crated/shipped. Now that they dont have to cut and splice it should be a lil cheaper.

Re: New swim platform
 
Hello fellow Mariah owners. I am a brand new Mariah owner myself, I just picked up 2001 Z275ST. I've been scouting a mid-cabin/open bow for years now....
We had the boat out over Labor Day weekend - and yes I love it!!!
The biggest issue I had with it was that the built-in rear deck is SOOO far off of the water. We have 3 kids and 2 dogs. I had a workout lifting kids and dogs in and out of the boat. Not to mention, you can't dangle your feet in the water.
All of the swimdecks I see posted here look great. My question is.. How difficult would it be for them shorten the length of the platform so that I could use the ladder that is built into the boat?
Would that look goofy?
It would need to end roughly 4 inches to the right of the ladder in order to get your fingers around the ladder. I'd like to hear other folks feedback on the idea.

I bought mine from Mountain Marine in Colorado. They can make one pretty much any size you want. I personally would go with a full size one and they have a ladder built into them so no need for the Factory ladder. We LOVE ours. Just my 2 cents worth.

Maybe you are right, the extra platform space would be nice with my large family. I was impressed with the nice ladder that came on the boat - but it sounds like the ladders built into the platforms are even nicer.. Thanks for the feedback.

no two ways about it, the "double rung" ladder steps are the nicest Ive ever seen, especially for us "ol folks" with tired feet and legs
