Maybe it’s a dinghy platform,or swim step, hull extender, or just generally a good idea. I dunno what it’s called but I WANT ONE. So we have been tinkering on an aluminum hull and it has no swim step at all. This makes boarding from dinghy a challenge, and I love having access to the water. So, I’m going to make a generous platform and weld it permanently on. But, I had a thought that if it’s too close to the water, that wakes and such will slap it and make noise/ make me insane. SO what height would you want your swim step?
This is a river boat and we anchor where there are some pretty nasty wakes, we get freighters and big yachts and barges that can toss a pretty good wake our way. But generally the kind of waves that smaller yachts throw are what we worry about most.
