Default Swim platform re angle
Good day all,
I want to repitch the angle of my swim platform on my 2005 21vlaunch. It currently has a slight pitch to it now but I want to raise it some more. Any ideas on what to use for shims or other methods? Cheers.
I used HDPE, but w/o any angles. I will attach a pic.

Nice. What's HDPE? Is that about an 1" thick. Did it raise your swim platform out of the water when your ballasts are empty?
HDPE is a hard, high-density plastic.

When I had surf tabs installed on my boat, the actuators were hitting the bottom of the platform.
So it was raised.
Yes, w/o ballast the platform is raised about 1/2" to 3/4" out of the water.
I do not think I have pics.

That's awesome. Thanks for the pics. Nice boat. Cheers.
i used nylon spacers found in the home depot hardware department, along with the appropriate-length new screws. the spacers come in 1", so i stacked two on top of each other. no issues with it last season.
