Sugar Scoop width on a 35

[DannyS]

Oday35 owners, do any of you know the width of the swim platform on our boats? I know the transom opening gets wider as you move up. I'm looking for the width of the opening about a foot above waterline as in drawing A in the photo. Anyone with quick access to your boat?

I can tell you tomorrow when I get out to the boat.

Hey Dan, any luck with that measurement? Anyone heading to their boat soon? I'd appreciate it!

I got delayed due to rainy weather, I have the tape in my car and will measure it tomorrow morning

I had them on a scrap of paper that I used to put the name on my transom. I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for but it might help. I think they are pretty accurate because I did the job twice.

Raj, that is helpful. Is the 35 3/4" width the actual width of the platform that you stand on? The drawing looks like it may be measured out on the aft facing section of the transom. Actually, looking at the photo of the back of your boat is very helpful. What are those stainless brackets just under the rail?

Width at top of scoop is 54"
Width at bottom of scoop (the step) is 33"
Width 1 foot from the step is 41.5"
Total height of scoop is 31.5"
Step is 15" from water surface
Centers of sides are 51" apart at 1 foot above step

Perfect! Thanks Dan and Raj! Exactly what I needed.

I think the 33 3/4 would have been at the transom. The brackets are for a set of davits.
