    Swim platform weight capacity?

    I was wondering how much weight the swim platform would be safely able to hold while driving the boat? I have a stand up jet ski (Superjet)that I would like to be able to take out to some back coves and ride/jump the boat wake with. I would make a rail system to set the ski on and strap it down. The ski weighs about 325lbs

    Any one every do something similar to this with ballast or anything?

    Its on a 01 21V.

    I'm sure different platforms made out of different materials and mounted in different ways on different models can all support a variety of different weights. Sorry, I guess that is no help

      Your swim deck should be able to hold 400 plus pounds I would guess. I mean you and 2 buddies standing on it could = 600+ pounds very easily.

          but if you and your buddies started jumping up and down together, you will definitely run into some problems!

            Thats what I'd be worried about, the dynamic load of the ski. Not when its just sitting there. But lets say your driving around at 25 mph with 2 people standing on the platform. Think its going to cause a problem? It doesn't seem like the back of the boat bounces all that much, even in rough water. But maybe I'm wrong...
