mounting a cooler on a swim platform

[NJ Guy]

I want to mount a 175-250 qt cooler on my swim platform since i do not built in fish boxes and i would love to save save deck space.... my platform is very sturdy but should be worried about weight.... i have had 2 adult men standing on it at once but will that weight bouncing around on it underway cause a problem?

By the looks of it it should be fine.I mounted a cooler on a customers boat and he still got one mounted today. He did buy a kit with mounting hardware.....

Check the supports and hardware real good underneath. Better yet, I would through-bolt the stainless supports and the platform itself if their not already. Here is a pic of a mid 80's SeaRay platform that dropped me to the ground when I stepped on to it from the cockpit. It had lags holding it in.

yeah that was what i was worried about... not to mention the swim platform is constantly used for boarding people and gear

It was a good drop, surprised the heck out of me, luckily just some soreness for a while. Could have been alot worse.
I myself have an 85 26 Sundancer and I refuse to put the boat in the water til I through bolt everything. I have a set of steps stuffed under the lip while its landlocked so it can't happen again. Those Amberjack's are nice. Ya can't beat the SeaRay ride.
