Installation is still "in-progress". Having to get the hull number view port cut into the platform cost me a day last weekend and this week has been to crappy to be able to use caulking or 3M 5200.
Overall, the job is challenging, but mostly from having to disassemble the back of the boat to be able to get into the voids where the platform bolts up. I am pretty handy and have the tools, so I am not worried about finishing up, but, be ready for anything - I had to drill out three screw heads in the seat supports because whomever touched them last (not me) stripped them. Stainless steel is pretty soft, so not too much trouble, but just a PITA when trying to get the job done. Also, the hull number issue was a surprise.
If you have help (definitely need one or two people to help) and are good with your hands, I say go for it. If not, get a marine mechanic (or two) to do it.
