ABSTRACT:
A boat having a swim platform assembly mounted thereto is disclosed. The assembly has a top member and a bottom member assembled in a clam-shell manner. The interior of the swim platform assembly is hollow and preferably has a watertight seal. Preferably, a pair of projections are formed at the outboard corners of the swim platform which are received in complementary recesses formed in the stern of the boat hull. In addition, the aft portion of the bottom member is substantially planar and the bottom member is convex. The combination of the convex bottom member, interlocking projections and interlocking recesses results in a swim platform having enhanced strength, stability and buoyancy.
