I built this exact platform, but had to substitute construction grade foam and Bondo products. Didn't have epoxy-grade paints so I used RustOleum. I found some cork-board at Office Depot and used black RTV from Discount. Then I sealed it all with some Spar Varnish which is UV protected. I'm at about $48 before buying some brackets and screws, so I can afford Stainless.
Thank you! I was looking up "High Density Cruiser Board"(what I was certain he was saying), and kept coming up with longboards or High Density Urethane Board.
Put the fiberglass down my God if anybody wants a good tip, don't let this guy work on your boat. Lighter glass would have made your project turn out a lot better. When using the bubble roller the trick is minimal pressure and keep it moving fast the quicker the better but once again very little pressure.
Yes everybody, replace your natural teak with a tone of unnecessary chemicals and glued wood dust, it's very easy you only need time and a bit of money then you have an awful platform to be ashamed of. Btw, could you please post the list of the products in the order you used them? I can't remember more than 3-5 layers of stuff!
He left out the assembly process to the boat! The most important aspect of this project!
dont have that dude do your fiberglass work. wow
Looks like a school project your kid would do in shop class then give you for your birthday!
😂😂 right? This is terrible.
What's the point of painting 2 or 3 layers of expensive Perfection plus the primer paint if you are going to cover it up???
How much did this weigh compared to the teak platform?

Did he say how much it weighs when finished?
Geta MASK on Dude!
If Wix were to make swim platforms, they would look like that......
What did it cost to make. Also how much time. Thank you
One question.
Is there a material or resin that could have been used to cover the existing teak wood platform?
If there is why not just do that?
That looks awesome. do you still have the boat? How has the platform held up?
What was the core material you used called?
+Jason McElwee high density coosa board. had to google it a couple times but i found it. cheers!

No close up look of finished product
You used composites, really should have rolled on gel coat instead of paint. Especially while the fiberglass was still tacky!
nice deck. I'm starting mine soon. Thanks for the vid.
i tried to build this with styrofoam and bondo. it swelled and my kids foot went thrugh it.
paul Odene plz don’t tell me your are serious 😂😂
Should have used duct tape and popsicle sticks

That looks awful!
Really awful lol
Now u know why it's 5k to do this by professionals this guy should swim 🏊♂️with the sharks
Do too currupt politicians all quality resins and paints are not allowed in the USA only in south America
Stick with teak!
50ft work!
WTF IS THIS FOR REAL???
I could do better with duct tape and some popsicle sticks... could have just sanded and epoxied the teak. Couple days work equals years of beauty
