Jet Ski mount on rear deck

[Beachpyro]

Hi, I’m new to the forum. I have a Yamaha 2005 230SX. I have been a stand up jet skier since the late ‘80’s. I still have a few and would like to mount a small boat tender to the rear swim deck. Hurleymarine.com offers a sweet option to make this happen if I can access the inside of the swim platform behind the table mount on the rear swim deck. Has anyone removed the rear table mount and seen what access if any is available? I need to be able to install four nuts and backing plates. I don’t know if the platform is hollow or what. The H3O Hurley model is removable so the ladder and deck will still be useable. I’ve been looking for years for a system to bring a ski along with me. So now I just need to see if it’s possible to mount. My Kawasaki ski’s weigh around 250-300lbs.

That is a link to a spark being winched up onto a swim deck. Stand ups are much smaller, lighter and shorter. But shows how it works.

Yes, the platform is hollow. Table mount has wood core that is likely in need of some attention in a 2005 boat, so I would look at that.
The access is relatively easy through the clean out plug hatch tray.

I wish I had something useful to comment to help you out, but that sounds like some James Bond stuff! Pics when it is complete!!

swim platform is too short and curve for superjet hull, but rickter edge fit okay. We load our ski insite because 150kg on swim platform kills boat perfomance.


btw, you shall not tow your superjet. it will sink in 200-300 meters distance.

I found a picture that shows how someone fit a rickter in a similar boat as yours. He welded together some aluminum tubing and a winch. I'll try to find the picture when I get to my home computer. I have a Superjet and I ride the ski while my brother takes the boat to the beach.
