Pictures of Brian's platform

Good Sunday morning.

Jeanne and I took our first motorcycle ride of the year yesterday.    It was a nice break from unpacking.    The sun was shining and it was just above 50.    We hugged the river in front of our new house and headed towards the Idaho state line.    A short ride, but it felt great!    I'm psyched for the weather to now get much better and do some more riding....

So here are the pictures of my customer Brian's platform.    He had seen a platform that was custom built for his buddie's Crownline that he liked.    He sent me a Great template, but I'm proud of our ability to re-create this design for Brian.    I think it looks great.    We ran the top and side "lips" wild so that he could trim it to exactly match his boat's  pocket shape.    Did I mention how much I love working on creative projects like this one?






Another local boat comes in tomorrow for a platform.     We are getting lots of new business around the Spokane, CoeurD'alene area this year.    I know I have an advantage to capture this local business, but still,  I think that the word is spreading and it feels very rewarding.

Why not get to the website and checkout the photos, testimonials and order yourself one?    www.myswimplatform.com

Have a Great rest of your weekend peeps..

New record for all time largest swim platform

That's correct.....just a few short weeks after we built our largest swim platform, we busted that record!    This platform is over 15' wide and 5.5' deep!    It is on it's way to Ontario and it is decked out with the following options:



Two storage areas including an insulated cooler for beverages, two DoCNSafes, Four Neat cleats and a ladder pocket!      Definitely a lot of work for us and we beleive that it turned out nice.    Matt, the new proud owner seemed pleased as well.    He has promised to send photos and a testimonial when it gets installed at his local Marina.





Jeanne and I are in the middle of a move.   She decided that she wanted more room, a shop and some other "must haves".     Overall, it whould turn out to be a great decision, but I gotta say....moving still sucks.  I love the new views, more room and land and the fireplace is nice....but I hate not being able to find my favorite coffee cup in the morning.   I'm sure any of you that have moved recently can relate.

At work?    More of the same.   After a slow winter, we are getting more phone calls, more local jobs and more templates arrive each day.     It will be another record year and I'm still......very grateful.

We are in the process of making a very unique platform.    I love it when I get to get outside of the box and get creative.    We were asked to duplicate a platform that a customer had sent a picture of.....    It required working very closely with the customer for precise templating and install details.    I think it clearly demonstrates our ability to engineer almost anything you can throw at us.    And it might make those who are afraid of the templating process feel more at ease??



I will add pictures of the finished platform once completed.  

Gotta get to work.  It's raining here now but it looks like it's going to get into the mid 50's this weekend.    Jeanne and I are planning to take our first ride.    A break from unloading boxes and organizing shoes and dishes.....    Can't wait!

As always, cheers!    Order that platform......I need to pay for this move....lol.    to order:   Just go to www.myswimplatform.com
