Swim Raft

Sammy · 01-17-2012, 03:48 PM

It’s not too early to think about summer. I’m looking for a pre-made solid swim raft, not one of the inflatable ones. Open to looking at all types, wood, pontoon or used. Also don’t want to pay a fortune… Let me know if you have any words of wisdom.

I got my 8x10 aluminum/cedar off season at Watermark for a discounted price. You may be able to pick up a leftover now.

My neighbor has a one of those older/classic wooden swim rafts that has become too much for them to install each year. (Older couple) Last year they talked about putting it up for sale. If I recall, it also had either a slide or diving board that could be attached. Anyway if you are thinking of going the route of a classic looking/traditional style, let me know and I can see if what they think they are going to do.

Sammy Give Don a call over to Center Harbor Dock & Pier . He has the shoremaster poly swim rafts and the aluminum Framed rafts with the removable red cedar decking. Also they build the traditional wooden swim floats in a number of sizes. There always running off season sales and are great to work with.

Watermark has several different designs in stock and will be able to set you up with everything you need to install your new system. I am sure they will give you an off-season rate!
