Is there a limit to the length of a platform? Other than the fact of being a nuisance while maneuvering in tight places?
Bingo, we have a winner here. I had a platform built when I bought the boat. It was great, and extended about 4' out beyond where the original platform ended. Here are a couple of pics of when it was being built..IF fixed, it may pose a handling problem in following seas where waves may get underneath and lift the stern. Strength of support brackets and transom will also enter into the equation although IF hinged and guyed off the top of the transom the added stress and strain should be minimized to some extent.
Greetings,
Mr. mp. Excellent solution for an item that may not be used on a regular basis PLUS it saves that little extra $$ for slippage. Now, it seems with the proper engineering, a similar platform may be extended to whatever length one would wish.
