I'm not at the boat, but have a line on a nice teak platform at a good price.

Anyone know the width of the transom on a '72 32 Express (I imagine all of the 32s are the same)? It would be the width at the height a platform would go. I am figuring about 6-8 inches above the water line.

Dare I ask how you know that?

I'll really test you now, How wide is the swim platform from a Silverton 34C?

Are you just making that up Jeff????

I may be picking up one for $200. It's only 19.5 deep, but I can always add to it at a later date I guess. Now I just have to figure out how to attach it.... I'll start a post on that once I actually have it...

The tricky part will be to get the arc of the stern right. BigM 's do not have the typical flat transoms of glass boats.

A 34C has about a 6" bump out... Haven't measured the M though.
