Boat models and suggestions needed

Hi everyone,

I have a slight dilemma. We just bought a new house and it comes with a slip. However, the slip is limited to a boat that is no longer than 22'8''.

I will be keeping my boat for this year since I have the slip and what not paid for... my boat is 2003 28 ft. cruiser.

My question is..... we went to the boat show and I HATE everything under 24ft. However, I had an idea.... most of the 24 ft boats i like (because they have a head and better seating...like the Cobalt bow rider). My idea is.... if I can find a 24 ft that doesn't have an integrated swim platform and the hull is no more than 22'8'' (which most work out to be) CAN I find a REMOVABLE swimplatform?? Or one that will fold UP when docked? I know it sounds silly but I saw the Malibu ski boats have a removable swim platform and it got me to thinking!

Any ideas and who would i see for it?????? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!

Wendy
