I have spent a long time trying to research and find a swim platform for my 2008 Bayliner 175. I recently noticed that the 2012 models have it available as an option. I contacted my local Bayliner parts dealer. They called Bayliner directly and they told me that I could not purchase one for my 08' because the transom was not reinforced enough and they said that it would just crack through. What does everyone think about this?

When i bought my 175BR in 2008 it was an option i cant see strenth being an issue

That is BS; the transom has to hold the drive and all of the engine power pushing the boat.
Best source for aftermarket platforms: http://swim-platform.com/
I've had them, and they are excellent. Beware that the platform company linked farther above makes platforms that weigh more than double, which is an issue on a small boat. I've had both, and I've toured both facilities. I'd always choose swim-platform.com.
