I have a 22' sportcraft with no platform of any kind. Does anyone know of an aftermarket cooler platform to buy or ideas for a home-made?

Thanks

Maybe this will help you out,
I was going through the net and found all the links for you to check out. I am sure if you know anyone that does wood working that they can make you up one out of nice looking wood.

Check out some of the plastic and plastic composition Deck Material. If you build your own don't go cheap on hardware. Deck screws will not cut it. Drill through with S.S. bolts washers and locking nuts. I used some 7/8 SS OD tubing to support it. If you decide to go this way I have found some sources for the SS tubing. I used std SS Bimini top hardware to help support it. There are a few tricks to doing this, that don't involve much time or $s, so if you decide to go this way PM me. here is a pic of my boat. If you save the pic to my pics you can enlarge it and get a better view of the platform. If you need any close ups I can probably get some.:)

PS It seems that anything that has boat or marine type applications the price quadruples.
