Hey Guys,
I have searched everywhere for an answer to this question - so sorry if it's been discussed here a million times - but I couldn't find a mod yet that was a cost-effective solution (saw a billet aluminum solution for around $500 - but that's way out of my budget). We absolutely LOVE our new (to us) 2005 22V - but there is one issue that is proving to be a real problem...the sloped transom to the swim platform. The issue is just the difficulty it presents in trying to get on a wakeboard. I've had to actually sit on the swim platform with my legs / board in the water to attempt to get the board on...which, for an old not-so-flexible guy (that's not in the shape he used to be) is not the easiest thing to do. I've noticed the new Tige's have a vertical transom and actually have a little bit of a recessed area under the seat so you can sit with your legs vertical and feet directly under your knees. I was thinking that some kind of bench or seat tied into the transom grab handle would help - if not completely resolve - the issue...and searched everywhere to see if there was something aftermarket produced here, but I couldn't find anything (maybe I'm using the wrong search terms). Anyone have any recommendations or an inexpensive mod?
Thanks!
