    I ordered 7 EA pieces that were 6LF each. so Roughly 42LF. they are .75" thick and 5.5" wide. Sold as 1x6. I ripped two boards down to 2.75" each and made the frame for the bottom. The top is 5 pieces glued end to end for a total of 27.5" in depth. I traced the shape of the original platform onto a piece of cardboard and just continued the angle of the sides where it met 27.5" on the bardboard. I cut it out and used the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket to get the radius on the two endges. It was pretty easy. I used Titebond III glue and 1" stainless #8 screws counter sunk to screw it all together.

    I had roughly 3 feet of a ripped down board left, as well as a few small blocks from trimming the angles on the sides of the platform.

    so far so good, it did not affect the wakeboard wake at all. It was night and day getting in and out of the boat. Being in the water actually darkened up the finish a bit. I'll post up next time we surf. after 1st trip.jpg

    yeah, at wakeboard speeds with evenly balanced ballast there should be NO chance it's affect the wakeboard wake at all. And it might not even affect the surf wake as the bottom is smooth and hopefully won't cut int your wake at all. Surf is the only possible area where it could be negatively affected.

    That is very nice. I just bought an 89 comp, and I agree the factory platform is difficult to get on.
