billablehours Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I just wanted to give kudos to Bruce and the folks at Action Marine and Welding in Cape Coral Fl for a great job on my swim platform and ladder for my Pathfinder 2200. I’m in Orlando so they couldn’t measure the boat and install the platform. I sent photos and they already had a jig for it. It only took a week and was shipped really fast. So much nicer than the cheap stainless and starboard ones out there. It was not very difficult to install. I would highly recommend. s Great customer service.

FMB MEGALOPS Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 That's great. These guys are a customer of mine and do top notch work for a lot of OEM mfgs. I highly recommend them for any welding projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohson Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Top notch for sure, we had tower done by them in 2005 on the action craft coastal bay. I’m not sure we ever had to tighten a screw. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Tails Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 They have a sterling reputation. They are always highly recommended on every post I've seen on any board regarding welding and fabrication in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FROZEN Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Billablehours, That’s exactly what I need. I’m in Homosassa, so a professional install is not in the cards. Can you be more specific on the “not very hard” on the self install. i.e. all hardware included, backing plates necessary or straight screws, etc. Also what you paid. You can PM me if you don’t want to say publicly. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsnooker Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Action always does great work. You should see the metal work they always have going on for Nor-tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s designed so there is no load in a direction that could pull out a screw. I think they run about $650. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Install is straight forward and all hardware is provided. The plates all screw in with no backing plates necessary because the only loads are either in shear or compression. Nothing is trying to pull the platform off. I did use 5200 just for extra strength. The only challenge is a little hand bending and a few licks on a 2x4 with a hammer to get the perfect fit. Aluminum bends easily and all that was required was a little tweaking for a perfect fit. It took about an hour maybe an hour and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
