I ended up buying the swim platform that you've got on your 18'...mine however came with a different type of support/bracket for the inboard side of the platform...mine is just a stainless pole that attaches to the platform at the aft end and travels at about a 45 degree angle down to the transom...the instructions that came with it insisted on thru bolting everything...I was wondering if any part of your platform is thru bolted?...I assume that the grab rail on the outboard side is not but I was wondering if maybe the top screw on the inboard bracket was thru bolted...if everything will just be screwed into the transom I'm going to have to get creative becasue I'm not comfortable using the harware supplied with only screws

Really long post and all I really wanted to find out was whether or not your platform is secure and is it installed with just screws?

Thanks
