We love the swim platform
We love the swim platform. It is important to us because we are always getting in or out of the water for kneeboarding or skiing, or just swimming and having fun.

It looks really good
The swim platform on my 24 ft Chaparral took about 2hrs to install but it was really easy. It looks really good you did a great job. Thank You!

The swim platform is perfect!!!
I just wanted to let you know that I really love the swim platform. It is the best addition to our 2004 Larson SEi 180 I/O. We have three kids and have been worried for two summers about one of them slipping off the back of the boat and hitting the outdrive. The swim platform is perfect!!! I added Hydro-Turf to the top to give my wife a soft place to lay in the sun. The addition of the platform truly changed our boat. It makes the 18 ft. boat feel much bigger. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

It has been a pleasure
It has been a pleasure to deal with you, you have been very friendly and helpful. We tried to buy a swim platform in the UK but could not find anywhere to sell us one. Buying from you in the states was far more economical than buying from a Regal dealer in the UK.

Great customer service
I am a representative for a major boat manufacturer. We make numerous referrals to the fine folks at Salt River Marine, and it goes without saying; that it is so nice to know that there is a company out there that is willing to work with and follow through in getting the needs of our customers met. Salt River has been a constant resource for our boat owners whenever we feel that we are unable to best assist them, in their swim platform needs.

better than I could have ever hoped for
Kraig, the swim platform that you made for me turned out for better than I could have ever hoped for. Needless to say that I was a bit concerned as to the whole procedure of installing a swim platform myself and looked into having it professionally installed through other companies at considerably more expense. From start to finish it was a pleasant experience.
The installation instruction were simple with detailed step by step pictures explaining each step and the hardware package contained everything to complete the job.
Above all I'd have to say that the support I got from Kraig was the most important factor to me. I would highly recommend to anyone, coast to coast, that is looking for a quality swim platform at a fair price with a great support team that they should contact Salt River Marine. Thanks Again for all your support, I look forward to working with you down the road.

The look and quality is awesome
As you know, I did a lot of investigation into installing a platform on my 27’ Rinker looking at different custom and pre-made units. Decision factors being cost, quality, and service. Now that I have the platform installed, I have to say I made the right decision by going with your firm. The color match is perfect. The supports you installed, and the method in which you did so, I've been able to put five good-sized people on the platform and could probably put more.
I appreciate the fact also that you were available during the installation with all of my crazy questions. I know I drove you a little nuts. Anyway, great job to you and the staff. The platform adds so much to the enjoyment. All I need now is couple chairs and a table to put out there! Thanks again.

Two thumbs up
Just wanted to let you know we now have the platform installed. Labor Day weekend was our first outing and it was a hit with our lake friends. I had a little too much fun with the install; adding decals that would make you blush along with adding an umbrella holder and a gas grill. We are now set for a good time wherever we beach our boat. Have a tailgate party, will travel!

Our kids LOVE it!
Talk about increasing the value of our boat and the enjoyment on the water!!!! We requested to have the platform mounted slightly lower than the existing platform, to create a 'stepped' effect. We, honestly, didn't realize the potential impact of the lower swim platform. While at rest, the platform is 'at' water level. When wakes come to us, they come up onto our laps and cool us off. We couldn't have planned it better! Our kids LOVE the swim platform, ok, so does mom & dad! The attention to detail and quality is definitely present. Thank you for making our boat even better than we imagined!

Our swim platform looks great!
Our old platform was too narrow and our ladder was always visible with just two rungs. This new platform is 36 inches wide and the color matches exactly to the boat. Our kids couldn't wait to get the boat in the water so they jumped on as soon as we drove home with the new platform, just to see how many of their friends could fit on it! What a great job! And the staff was very professional and accommodating! Thanks for everything guys!

A Terrific addition to our boating experience
It truly has re-defined how we use the boat, since it provides so much space to either just hang out or have fun with. Our boy uses it as a diving platform. I use it as a place to grille up lunch or we sit on it at the dock to just chill out with our feet in the water. There is absolutely no way we could comfortably have seven people aboard our 24-footer without it, but with the platform there was room for that many people to come out with us this weekend. It lets us keep an inflated towable back there easily, we keep the cooler there to free up the cockpit space, and it makes it SO much easier to get wakeboarders in and out of the water.
Everyone is impressed with the quality and it blends in with the boat as if it was factory. The ladder and ladder pocket are in the perfect location for maximum space usage and easy entry. We figure we saved $5,000 by buying it. Without it, we'd need a couple more feet of boat to accommodate as many people.

Definitely a great investment
Kraig,
We absolutely love the swim platform you made for us. I knew we were going to enjoy the platform and I thought everyone was crazy when they said the platform is the best thing you can do to your boat. I knew we would enjoy it but I didn't think it would be the best thing we could do. After one summer with the platform I totally agree, It is the greatest enhancement we could have done to the boat. It was worth the trip towing the boat from Arkansas to your place in Phoenix.
The platform looks great on the boat, it is very sturdy to hold anyone who gets on it. We love having the platform right on the water for swimming and tubing. Several have asked me if it affects the way the boat handles whether there is any drag or not. The platform does not affect the handling of the boat at all, you cant even tell it is back there. Definitely a great investment and an enhancement to our boat. The platform helps make my old boat look like a new one. Thanks for all your help we have absolutely loved your platform.

It's absolutely awesome
I finally got to take it out to the lake today. The platform is absolutely awesome. Since it folds, I can still park the boat in the garage without a problem. My family and friends love the extra space while getting ready to hit the water. I thank you for all of your support.

It looks really good
Hey Kraig and everybody involved in our platform. We want to thank you for a job well done. The platform is beautiful and a great addition to our boat. We don't know how we have done without it. Thanks again.

Thanks so much!
Kraig, Thanks so much for all your help in the over the phone installation class. The fact that you were always available when I called was a lifesaver!! Our family has enjoyed using the platform already, and it looks great too! Thanks again.

A Terrific addition to our boating experience
The platform has been a terrific addition to our boating experience. Prior to adding the extra 38" depth to the boat, the stern of the boat was really cut off from use. You can see the engine box tucked in the platform, and of course, the stern drive is immediately under that. With those exposed, the rear sundeck was almost dangerous for kids to hang out on - never would you want them to dive off of it, that's for sure. Today we can hold 6 - 7 kids on it, or 4 adults easily. And although it is not part of your normal production, the ski tow assembly is terrific and remarkably strong.
Thanks again for all your hard work in making this possible - we greatly appreciate it. We could NOT have done this with anyone else.
