Swim Platform / ladder

[TOPFROG]

Took the old swim platform / ladder off as I was putting on Dale's recommended Bennett Trim Tabs.....Patched all the holes and now it's time to consider a replacement (wouldn't put the old one on a 1940 Jeep it's so ugly / rusted). Recommendations - please. Using the motor to climb aboard after clamming for three hours becomes quite the challenge!

Is there a good ladder that lowers over the side and doesn't need a drill, thinned epoxy 3 times / thick epoxy fill / redrill / 4200 and mount :shock: ???

Thanks for suggestions and thanks even more for pictures :lol:

An over the gunnel ladder would have to be 5'+ long (hard to store) and they never work very good. I like a quality swim platform and the new Armstrong swivel ladder.

Most adjustable/clip on/suction cup/fit-all/easy to install stuff for boats seldom works for me.

Thanks mucho FF.....I'll check the Armstrong ones out - anyone else with a suggested approach?

Thanks Capt. Kevin......Looks like time to find the retailers and break out the old credit card. Armstrong vs. Windline. Sounds like I'll need a new swim platform and a ladder - more holes in the boat :shock:

Daniel, Did your ladder look anything like this?

I prefer this Garelick ladder to any of the Armstrong products--much easier to store when not in use.

I wish I had a manufacturer, I would rec. it.

Danielb.....Maybe a photo and someone else might recognize it to clue us in on the manufacturer????
Thanks,
