That sure does as a ton of room to the stern of the boat. It however would be a bit higher than your current platform (extended one, not so much the factory swim step area). Do you think the height would be a detriment or a plus?

Platforms have sure gone a long way. I like the new ones that now wrap around the stern and the option on the Cobalts that lowers down into the water. I can't believe my storage is so tight I couldn't have the platform on my boat. All summer long when we lounge I wished I had one.

Seeing as we're on the subject.
The Weekender 225 has a swim platform, but my (215) doesn't - the only difference between the 2 models. I don't care for the aftermarket type. Do you think Sea Ray has the OEM 225 platform that I could fit on my boat? Of course my model has been discontinued for 5 years.......

Myself I would like the one level to put a couple of chairs on there & a cooler. The height would not really be a problem as when I am anchored at the beach it's only 3' of water. I am not going to change it but if I ever own another.....

If I didn't already have the one I have I would be writing a check.

As I mentioned on an earlier thread, I am looking at the platforms for my 250. The full platform is only about $150.00 more than the transom mount when I requested a quote. The full model comes with a decent ladder. We are still debating the two models for height vs area. We were leaning towards the transom mount. I think the current built in platform is pretty high off the water for us old birds to get back on the boat. The full platform will add additional height.
