Retrofit Fold Down Swim Platform Brackets!
I have been working in conjunction with Tim Creighton, (TT member XPC Sealman) XPC Bearings/Vesconite USA, Director of New Product Development @ OJ Props and Eric Johnson (TT member EJ OJPROP) of OJ Propellers on retrofit fold down swim platform bracket kit for some of the older boats.
The following pictures are of the prototype product as I installed them for a preliminary fit on our '89 ProStar 190. As it stands right now, the following boats can accept these fold down platform bracket kits that will be available through OJ Props and Mastercraft Boat Co. Availability, application, type of finish and pricing should be available shortly by Eric @ OJ Props, http://www.ojprops.com/contact_us and MasterCraft.

Platform is now folded down and there is room to walk behind,
Attachment 53450 Once more, Attachment 53451 Everything has been disassembled, boxed up and sent back to OJ Props for clean up and to receive their finish. When they are returned to me, I will post pictures in this post of the final product installation. Man, this has been more fun than you can imagine! Thanks to Tim and Eric, you guys have your act together!

Thankfully you can now get a beer out of the fridge!
 Just kidding. Looks like a great option for anyone with those boats.
