Hi, I'm thinking of getting a small jet ski on to my platform. I have a 320 Fiesta vee. Do you know the weight limit on the swim platform?
Regards,

190 kilo or 418 pounds. It's like 2,5 adults. :-)
Add whatever weight davit/chocking system you need to secure it too. How will you get it on/off?

my dinghy and 9.9 he is 200lbs. Plus fuel. The trunk has about about 100 more pounds. Even with full fuel water gear and four adults I have no issue getting on plane with 5.0s.
However, I would add two more stantions to support the swim platform. Should be no problem for you.
Hurley have a new product for this. http://hurleymarine.com/hurley-h3o-dinghy-davit-works-sea-doo-spark-jet-ski/

Think your platform is strong enough? 418 pounds is like 2.5 adults at no-wake speed. If you manage to get on plane and you hit a big wave, suddenly it's like 25 adults.
