I wanted to put the larger swim platform on my boat like those found on 2003+ Legacy SANs and SSNs, but finding one has proven difficult and/or really expensive--especially once shipping costs are included. But I recently found a reasonably-priced NOS platform that appears to have been for a 2004 216. After a little research, I discovered that the transom curve of the 216 and my SAN are nearly the same and that the measurement from the crown of the arch to the outside edge of the platforms are the same--the 216 platform is just wider. So I pulled the trigger and bought one. A couple of cuts and some sanding later (along with a good cleaning and some oil) and it is exactly what I envisioned. I intentionally left the cutouts for the lifting rings out--I've never used them and it's easy enough to remove the platform if I ever need to.
I am very pleased with the end result.
