    swim platform size

    Hi Glastron owners, I going to add a swim platform to my 2003 gx185. I have seen some aftermarket platforms but I like the look of the factory platforms that come on the newer boats. Could someone provide me with the measurements of the factory platform and maybe some pics?

    DIY pro wake vs krypt pro air towers
