Has anyone tried to mount one of these Malibu swim steps to a G23? It may require some retrofit but can't be impossible.

My G23 actually came with a Malibu swim deck. My swim deck was stolen from the dealership yard the night before I picked my boat up and that’s all they had while they got me a new one. It fit rather nicely and I did like how it curved down into the water. Had it not had a giant “MALIBU” logo in the middle of it I probably would have kept it.Originally posted by MakinWavesG23 View PostHas anyone tried to mount one of these Malibu swim steps to a G23?

As crazy as it sounds, that actually could be done by someone. Glass it in, new Sea Dek Made for the platform and the little flip down - and w-a-l-a...Originally posted by MakinWavesG23 View PostHas anyone tried to mount one of these Malibu swim steps to a G23?

I would have kept the flip down swim step and just replaced the SeaDeck with a new one without the Malibu logo.
If you have any pictures of that while it was installed on your boat, I'd love to see them.
Thanks

It wasn’t the flip down version or I 100% would have just redone the seadek. This is the only picture I have. As you can see it was quite narrow due to the surf gate on the Malibu’s. I bet a swim deck from the new M240 with the integrated hull surf gate would fit real nice.Originally posted by MakinWavesG23 View Post

Thanks for the pic... Can see now that its not as wide as the Nautique swim deck.... I'll prob just fill the rear ballasts to sink the deck down while swimming or if I need something additional, go with the under mount ladder. Its easy to install.

I have no idea what model of Malibu that deck came off of. It could have been one of their smaller boats.Originally posted by MakinWavesG23 View PostThanks for the pic...

We normally just stay sacked out at the tie up and the swim deck is at water level for swimming
