    Hydraulic swim platform

    With the large amounts of ballast now carried on boats the swim platforms are now mounted far higher than in the past. When sitting in the water swimming and sun bathing ect.. I much prefer the platform at water level or lower. Many manufacturers have realized that and have platform options to make entry and exit easier. Nautique so far has not offered anything. I would love to see a Hydraulic platform that could be raised or lowered as needed. Even a platform like Malibu now uses would be much appreciated. My water crazy dog who has trouble typing on a IPad also asked that I pass on his enthusiastic support! Does Nautique read the forums?

    Well, there is the ladder option out there, but yes more friendly option would be nice.

      I agree, with all of the new features, designs, electronics, etc. that these boats have, the ladder under the platform seems inconvenient and way outdated.
      Surely they could come up with something more user friendly.

        Pillows but yet not a better platform seems illogical for those that use their boat for tow sports.

          Why not an adjustable platform that you can adjust as needed?. Higher, lower...

            Cobalt has that i believe, probably don't want to pay royalties like the step or surf gate from Malibu

              I just fill my ballast before we float. But yes something easier/faster would be nice.

                here's a company that makes several options, mostly aimed at the big boat market but i don't see how they couldn't apply it to the ski boat market. https://www.tenderlift.com/en/produc.../Lift-systems/

                  It looks like they do custom designs. Probably comes with a healthy custom price tag too.
