  I have an aftermarket  swim platform on my 2001 242 that I believe was installed by the dealer when new. We love it, it adds a lot of useable space.

  aero... That looks like the factory swim platform. When the 242 came out, it didn't have a swim platform. If I recall correctly, the second year it was an option. A lot of dealers installed the factory platform when it became available. At the dealer in Pittsburgh, I helped install a few of them. It makes the 242 look great and you are correct, it gives a lot of useable space.

  swimplatforms.com are great people. I know them pretty well as they are located here in AZ and have a stellar reputation.  Even if you decide to use someone more local to you they would still be a great source of information and worth a phone call.

  I have 99 272 Captiva and purchased from swimplatforms.com.  Had to shave the front of the platform to make a perfect fit.

  I had a 1995 Maxim 2700. We installed a platform from swimplatforms.com. We were very happy with it.
