Correct Craft Trivia

How about some trivia about Correct Craft?

Answer: Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Questions:
1. Why do the Direct Drive models have the curved shape to the transom?
2. Why does CC use solid swim steps vs. slotted?

I pick number 2.

V-drive steps look just as cuved, so i gotta go #2 as well.

my budddys malibu has a solid platform and it doesnt seem to help w/ the fumes but it couldnt hurt
and alot of i/o have a flatback. w a built in swim platform
but im gonna say both

I think it was two years ago that two teenage boys on my lake, both very capable swimmers, were sitting on the transom of a ski boat while the boat was at headway speed. Suddenly without any warning, one boy fell off into the water. The second didn't realize the severity of the situation and hesitated before jumping in after his friend. But it was too late. Without a life vest, and lungs filled with CO2, the boy sank quickly.

When I sit on the back of my boat (with slotted swim platform) to hold a rope for a child skier, I wear a life vest.

that's a good idea to wear a life vest when on the platform. i just turn the boat off.

Both are correct. So the next question is when did they go to the solid platform?

1990

[igkya]

The 90 has a slotted teak platform with a solid piece of plastic (or some other material) under it.

so i could put a piece of lexan under mine? would that help?

Do you consider '04 DD models to have a 'curved' shape to the transom? Doesn't look so to me. I suppose the solid platform makes up for that though.

[lcap]

They are curved in two dimensions: 6" radius from the center point of the transom to port and 2" from top of swim platform to the top of the transom.
