At Cutwater, we are always innovating to improve every facet of design and functionality. Swim platforms have long been an afterthought for outboard-powered craft. We see it as integral part of your boating experience. That’s why our engineering team developed our Clear-Path Swim Platforms. The principle behind the design is to provide you a safe and useful area aft of the transom. This is especially important on an outboard boat, where a smart use of space is paramount.
You’ll notice the difference the second you step aboard. In 2020, the C-32 CB, featuring the Clear-Path Swim Platform design, was awarded the Innovation Award at the Miami International Boat Show. The clear and level non-skid deck is the result of our custom routed outboard rigging and steering hoses, which are secured below the deck rather than across it. This design eliminates tripping hazards and allows for easy traversal across. Stainless-steel handrails provide excellent stability for boarding the boat from a dock or a dinghy. Extending the platform aft not only increases the usable area and enhances stability, but it also shields the outboards. Convenient Med-tying is made possible with the integrated aft fenders, which provide additional protection from the dock.
A Swim Platform For Real Use
The Clear-Path Swim Platform provides abundant space for all kinds of activities with family and friends. Drop your anchor, go for a swim, and return to the boat with ease using the telescopic swim ladder. Use this space to haul in crab pots, or simply take a seat and dip your feet in the water.
