Okay folks, I have a 2004 Mariah 25SX. In 2005 they came out with a swim platform that will still fit on my boat according to the manufacturer even with my thru hull captains call exhaust

Check it out and tell me what you think....should I buy myself one for Christmas?

Go to: http://mariah-boats.com/mariah.html

Then check out Bowriders...acessories

Try going to the 25 SX, then slideshow, there are a couple of pics there. Just wondering how much swim platforms usually run, they guy told me between 800-1000 and that is not installed

But it will NOT hide the SOUND!!!

Go for it, nothing like a winter project... Mine this year, is a 1974 350 V8... Making it a 383 and putting a 671 blower on it... And just wait till you see what I drop it into!!! :ymdevil: :ymdevil: :ymdevil:

I think it would look and be great LC. Thanks for the updated instructions I found the pics you were talking about.

I'm with Rooster on this one.

If you ever want to do a charity project you could rebuild the v8 and 350 turbo tranny in my 85 S-10 Blazer 4x4 (the little short ones)
