    Hi,
    I'd love to add a swim ladder to the underside of my swim platform. I understand that they are an option when you buy new. We purchased used and did not realize that the ladder might come in handy. Has anyone had an experience with any after market swim ladders that could be mounted to the underside of the platform? We have the swim step but sometimes the ladder would come in handy. OEM has them on the underside/starboard side of the swim step. I do NOT want to through mount this. Thank you!

    IMG_1030.jpeg IMG_2233.jpeg Hi Craig really interested in your customizations for boats….Cobolt I assume? Anyway my 2007 222 swim ladder would not stay latched and I also wanted to replace it because it was staging in the water while underway. For now twist ties. I did research OEM without success. Coming close a lot of companies refer to our type as dive ladders. I found reasonable facsimiles but non to compare to the stainless steel original. They Boatoutfitters, had may other options. Here’s some pics as well as my boat.
