They are both still there. According to Lorraine Sadler who helped Jon Hardy tow the "swim platform" out to the park, it is actually a pier float. The glassbottom boat is the Pisces, formerly owned by Lynn Stokes back in the very early 70s. I used to party on that boat with him. We were both after the same woman at the time. He won... and his boat sank, hitting the Casino groyne (breakwater) as I took pictures of it. Wish I still had those pictures to show people what it looked like.
 
Been diving the park again after a few years but haven’t seen the swim platform or glass bottom boat wreck yet. Are they gone or am I just missing them in the limited vis this week?

We were just there and they are both still there. The glass bottom boat is almost straight out from the steps. I'd say about 2/3 of the way to the northern park buoys. If you head west from the glass bottom boat at about 55 ft you will run into the platform. It's almost to the western edge of the park. Good luck
