Swim Platform needed...

[454 blue boat]

They sit a lil higher than you'd think. And since your filling the holes with rubber, less water splashes through them making them wet. How about when the boat is on the trailer? Do you board, load/unload the boat via swim step?

thxs for the infor and no I don't load or unload from back only the sides my hull sits low on trailer and can easily stand on trailer and set stuff on the floor.so bottom line is if the billet ones are out of the water we would need to remember to splash water on them lol because my teak ones I have now are 1-1 1/2 off the water

Worried about the rubber getting hot, but not the billett aluminum?:what::

If it is not in the water, it WILL burn you. Fiberglass will be a bit better, and teak better still. Most of the rollbar style boats have teak platforms. They are uncomfortably hot in the sun, but not as bad as the deck of the boat.

Color.

Black gets much more hot than blue. The rubber will absorb more heat than billet.
