transom angle

[Bobg]

I have a 88 mark I, does anyone know the angle of the transom, would like to fabricate some brackets for a swim platform, my boat is out of the water, and a long ways away.  Thank you

No, but for some ideas here's my back porch (C30) and swim step.

I just looked at the lines plan.  Looks like it is about 25 degrees from vertical.

Bob, Ken's right.  Go to the C34 Tech wiki and find the brochures and you can measure the angle with a protractor from them.

You may want to give these guys a call in Florida.  I was looking on their website last year, I was going to do the same project but never got around to it.  They seem to have a bunch of swim platforms that may work.  Click on the Ladder & plaforms tab.

Hi,

  this is what I did when I did my swim Platform.
Took the drawing and did some measurement from it. 
Got my parts cuts and takwelded only first.  Took it to boat to check if angle was good and what the look was.  Then brought back to finish the welding.
Actually it was supposed to be only temporary to see how we would like it.  But it is still there.

see thread, at the end you will see my pictures, and other nice one from other fellows

  Bob, I have an Auto Cad file of our boat. Catalina sent it to me in the fall of 93. So if it is the same hull as an 88, it measures 22 degrees. The file is just a simple line drawing, no major information. So you are in the ball park.

thank you everyone, my boat doesn't splash for a month, so would like to get something done ahead of time, patrice, I am going your route for my platform, when I take my old boarding ladder off, any idea where I can get a step that will fit in the same mounting holes? thank you

Hi,

I left the step that holds the swim ladder.
I used a metal saw to cut in the middle of the bellow step, and was able to pull out the swim ladder.
