Swim Platform Swap

By the way - if anyone is interested, I have the teak platform from my 2005 SN 206 Ski for sale. I am open to offers. It is in good shape and sanded - heady for sealing or teak oil - which ever you prefer. It will fit 196 and 206's from around that time frame. I am not certain which years - maybe someone can help me out here - my guess is 2002 through 2009?

I need to get the new platform before I sell the old one. Don't want o be swimplatform-less. :)

I don't know on price. The glass one cost me six bills - I'd like to get a good part of that back. But I am open to offers.

KRoundy - I used to ski that course on north Lake Sammamish back in the day behind my 1985 SN 2001. Lake WA is OK - I'd rather be on Sammamish for skiing. It is hard to get a good ski day in the summer, but fall, winter, and spring usually have some really nice days. My house is actually back from the lake, but I have a dock - and a good view of the water up to the East Channel Bridge. Your 93 looks great!

How much?

Hooty222,

You ROCK! Thanks - I am on it. :)

I found on craigslist in phoenix AZ under swim platforms $550 a composite that I think will work for you.... check it out.

local dealer has a 216

Do the 216 and the 206 share the same platform design?   Pacific Nautiques might have one you could trade for? or is that the dealer you already consulted?

Rogier, I'm with you on this one!!

Living on the water in Seattle with a boat lift and a SN 206, $1,500 is not so bad? I lived there for 5 years. Loved it. I never made the money to get anywhere close to the water.

Welcome to the site!

I'm on Lake Washington. We have a dock just south of Newcastle Beach Park. Not the greatest ski lake during the summer due to boat traffic, but it starts to get great this time of year. With the boat on the water, we can just go when conditions are right. :)

Keith - what lake are you on?   Lake washington? or Samamish? Kroundy is up in lake stevens, and I ususally choose between Lake tapps and American lake, both are pretty far south if your truly a seattle boater... It was cold this morning... you've got to be a die hard or living on the lake to ski now

Thanks for the welcome. I'll get some pics of the boat soon - I just took delivery of it last night and by the time I got it on the lift at the dock it was dark. The good skiing in our area starts now. The lake clears off and the 5mm wetsuits come out. A month from now it will be dry suits and draining the block after each ski. Such is the price we pay for carving glass.....well worth it.

I have a 2005 SN 206 with a teak swim platform that I just purchased. I love the boat with the exception that I prefer the composite platform. If any one with with a similar year 196 or 206 who has a composite platform would prefer a teak platform, we may be able to arrange for a trade. My platform is in excellent shape - well looked after and always kept up. I can certainly provide pics. I am located in Seattle. Thanks!
