Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Hi again. Just checking in since it has been a while since I posted. I have stayed busy at work of course and my daughter is due (actually Overdue now) with her first child. So of course there is lots of work to do to get ready. We sure hope Kingsley Scott (huh?? How about that for honoring your dad?) comes out quickly. I'm so looking forward to being a grandpa.

Now to the boat business. I just completed a platform for a guy who bought the boat back east and then shipped it directly to my shop in Spokane where I built him a full size platform and installed it for him. I've done this a couple of times and it works out pretty well for me and for my customers. Allan's comment when he came to pick up the boat? Scott- YOU DUH MAN!!!

You can see the remainder of his comments and all of the rest of what my customer's are saying about my products and services at the website- www.myswimplatform.com

I have had several customers telling me lately that when they were talking to my competition, that my competition was speaking ill of my product from the standpoint of it being made out of Fiberglass Reinforced Plywood. Implying that it was susceptible to rot.

First of all know that I would never speak negatively about my competition. I focus on making my products and services better and better. I figure that is the way to grow market share. And it must be working. My business has doubled every year since I started it over ten years ago. And I believe now that I am the largest custom extended swim platform manufacturer in the world!

As far as my platforms being susceptible to rot, they are manufactured exactly as your boat is. Fiberglass and gelcoat over a High grade marine plywood. They come completely sealed from my shop. As long as you treat them the same way you treat your boat, that is never put a hole through them without sufficiently sealing the hole, it will last as long as a 100% fiberglass platform. And, mine weigh about half as much!

So do your research and I'm confident that you'll choose a Safe Step Swim Platform. Thanks again for reading and have a great holiday season.

Scott
