A couple of ski supreme questions

[Hiattalarm]

Hi Everyone, just bought a 2000 ski supreme, the boat needs some tlc but is mostly in good shape. I just a had couple questions I was hoping someone could answer...
1 any ideas on where to buy a used in good shape swim platform that will just bolt on. I've tried everywhere with no luck
2 the blower motor was just bouncing around in the bilge area under the deck closest to the engine and all the hoses need to be re done so I was hoping someone with the sane year could tell me where it was mounted from the factory.
3. It has a spin on fuel filter laying in the bilge as well that I'm sure isn't factory, where would have that been located if at all? What type of fuel filter set up should have this boat come with.
Thanks for all the help

Finding a used swim platform for a 22 year old boat might be a challenge, unless you're near a large boat salvage yard. Even then, it would be pretty lucky to find one. (Unless you're looking for a generic teak-slats-and-stainless-steel-tube model...)

Have you considered new? A Google search leads to a number of possibilities. Pricier, but likely to be much easier than finding a used platform.

Fuel filter usually comes with the engine - not sure what engine you have

Merc usually mounts them on the starboard front engine mount which can be a PITA to acesss.

Used swim platform - I would look on ebay. There you will find several guys who part out boats. They may not list a swim platform but you could reach out to them.

Fuel filter laying in the bilge, disconnected blower motor bouncing around in the bilge - did you water test this boat? If not you may find a lot more problems than the 2 mentioned. A missing or damaged swim platform is also concerning. I suggest that you thoroughly put this boat through it’s paces on the water to determine what all is actually wrong with it. Then you can start fixing everything at the same time rather than piecemeal.
