Well, while i'm sitting here waiting for the weather to break so i can splash my boat, I'm toying with the idea of a bigger swim deck. Two reasons for this, 1- more space closer to the water for me to stand while fishing
and 2 - I need a bigger deck so that i can safely have my dog (95 lb rottweiler) get in and out of the boat, he has a bad shoulder from a winter accident. Currently my platform is 18" deep, and am considering going to 30" deep. Current platform is supported by 4 brackets, 1/8"x1 1/4" aluminum angle with 1/8"x1 1/4" knee brace. Before i go and start planning this project i need to know if it is possible to adapt this new size platform to my boat (2150 SB). The new supports would be of the same idea just bigger and bolted and welded for extra strength. Cant afford the $1500 that i have been quoted from numerous places and can do it myself for around $350-ish. Cant my transom and motor support this new deck? I figure all up weight might be around 70 lbs.Current deck is in this pic
