232 cobalt 2010 swim platform

[84 Ed]

The seam at the junction of the swim platform bottom and the side has opened.  Weight on the ladder opens the space more, lifting the ladder closer the seam a bit.
Anyone seen this ? Is it fixable ?

Thanks !

Hey 84 ED. So glad you found us!

Anything is fixable with time and enough money.

Do you have any good fiberglass tech’s around you? Does it push up at all when you apply force?

Let’s get you fixed.

And welcome aboard mate.

Bad day. You will want to try and keep it dry as well. Yes your going to need a glass guy. Slideruler did some repairs to his.

Thanks for the replies and welcome !
Yes it pushes up with some pressure.
I guess if its advised not to get it wet it must not all be fiberglass ?

It obviously broke from pressure on the swim ladder. Is this a known issue with this boat?

I do know a fiberglass guy. I have contacted him about some hull scratches and now I will add the swim platform to the list.

Also, "fixable with time and money"...Yes and my question was really fixable vs. replacing cost wise

Look up sliderules 250 thread. Read it and look at the pictures you will see how its made.
