How To Build Your Own Swim Platform - PowerBoat TV

[@MissionaryForMexico]

He left out the assembly process to the boat! The most important aspect of this project!

[@joelw2023]

dont have that dude do your fiberglass work. wow

[@carpspudpicker3031]

Looks like a school project your kid would do in shop class then give you for your birthday!

[@HarryScanlan]

😂😂 right? This is terrible.

Geta MASK on Dude!

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.

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???

[@filmshoot35]

How much did this weigh compared to the teak platform?

[@TheDivergentDrummer]

If Wix were to make swim platforms, they would look like that......

[@tysonristau4995]

Did he say how much it weighs when finished?

[@frankgeraci3233]

What did it cost to make. Also how much time. Thank you

[@ProBrosMac]

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?

[@TheGoshood]

nice deck. I'm starting mine soon. Thanks for the vid.

[@jasonmcelwee1257]

What was the core material you used called?

[@thatsmedonnyg]

+Jason McElwee high density coosa board. had to google it a couple times but i found it. cheers!

[@MushuPuma]

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.

[@markpaskett3696]

That looks awesome. do you still have the boat? How has the platform held up?

[@sergiyvoloshchuk9011]

No close up look of finished product

[@rdprdputube]

You used composites, really should have rolled on gel coat instead of paint. Especially while the fiberglass was still tacky!

[@paulodene5101]

i tried to build this with styrofoam and bondo. it swelled and my kids foot went thrugh it.

[@hd42gaming54]

paul Odene plz don’t tell me your are serious 😂😂

[@cadillacman8223]

Should have used duct tape and popsicle sticks

[@xMeta4x]

That looks awful!

[@jtravis30]

Really awful lol

[@nickarigit]

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.

[@hildablanco1591]

Do too currupt politicians all quality resins and paints are not allowed in the USA only in south America

[@aslynnhallett7542]

Now u know why it's 5k to do this by professionals this guy should swim 🏊‍♂️with the sharks

[@debradubose6055]

Stick with teak!

[@cadillacman8223]

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

[@BigMkombe]

WTF IS THIS FOR REAL???

[@Orion2023.]

50ft work!

[@bradshymon8012]

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!

[@reeseman4408]

Lmao this is horrible
