Does anyone in Charleston build boat accessories like t-tops that would also be able to construct a good, heavy duty bording platform for a boat? I know I can buy the flimsy ones from west marine, overtons, etc, but I want a good sturdy one that I know will hold up. I am not getting any smaller!!

Pit,
Get with Bryson on here. Hes got a shop on Rivers Avenue where they could fabricate just about anything you can think of. I’ve never seen them produce anything short of top notch.

If you get something made, post it. Looking for some type of swim/boarding ladder for my boat. Wife won’t get in the water cuz she doesn’t like getting back in via the motor. I get it.

Bryson and the guys just made an awesome poling platform for a key west. I’ll ask him for some pictures and post them as soon as I can get them.

That’s the same issue I have, plus the fact that I am getting older and heavier and my motor doesn’t need the hassle!! LOL

Do you have a picture Matt? I might be able to modify it and make it work.

They’ve got a Facebook page. The name of the business is N’th Degree fabrication and their new location is on Rivers Avenue. PM Bryson for details but everything I’ve seen those guys make is amazing! Top notch work over there.

I’m trying to get you a picture of the platform they just made from John who does the welding. He’s in the keys fishing right now and is slow responding to me for some weird reason. …haha

Sorry, guys! All of our phones went swimming in the “dry” box over the weekend. John got his replaced already, so I’ll PM you his number. He’s at the shop today; I’m actually at my day job right now. Ryan, thanks for the kind words! We got to put the platform to good use this weekend.

I wouldn’t talk you out of any of the other options. But, I put one of these on my 17’ HenryO years back. It is solid. I got one with a three step ladder (below the platform) so you can get balanced on the first/deepest step. The ladder stays stowed without any trouble. Added convenience of doubling as a live well (plumbed cooler) platform very nicely.

I like the looks of that one but, I would have to drill a hole below the waterline for the lower support and that gives me the willies.
Does anyone have one of these? Good/bad? I like the idea of being able to remove it.

Small world… Turns out Bryson and John live in my neighborhood… We are going to see what we can come up with.

Thanks Matt… I will think about what I may be able to do to modify that platform to make it work. I’m unsure about it right now, but thanks for getting me a pic!!

Pit,
Bryson and John will get you squared away. They don’t make anything half a$$. Glad you got in touch with them.
