Hey all, i have a 2000 270 fiesta vee and my swim deck needs replaced and i am wanting to replace it with the factory swim deck.  does anyone know where i can find one?  i talked to a Rinker factory rep and he told me that the molds have been destroyed and my only chance is if someone happens to have some new/old stock still.  Does anybody know of anyone that might still have one laying around?  thanks

    You can try and see if www.greatlakesskipper.com has one for OEM or go aftermarket with http://swimplatforms.com/ .

    I have a 2000 FV270 and as far as I know there wasn't a factory swim platform until 2001? Was it an option? Or did a previous owner add it on?

    Try swimplatforms.com. I'm in a similar situation with my Crownline 250CR. They have an identical replacement for $2300 shipped to Pittsburgh (I believe they are in Arizona). They don't have mine listed on their site but I emailed them and they sent pics of the one I need

    Is yours just rotten?  Any possibility a local marina could just re core it?

    PickleRick it is not rotten.  they were doing some welding on our docks and all the sparks from welding landed on my swim deck, melted into it, and started rusting.  my club said they will replace it but i want the exact one that is on there that came from the factory

    WoW, they could’ve done a lot more damage to the whole marina! One spark near your fuel vent....

    I would call Mallory at Rinker. They still have the molds for a 232 and someone on here got one for a 270. I believe the 270 platform was the one that sits higher on the boat so it doesn’t drag in the water.
