swim platform ladder

[erice]

while in stonington ct harbor last week, i saw a swim platform ladder that i liked a lot. it is shaped like an "L", pivots on the outer edge of the platform and the top part of the ladder is folded double. the end result when deployed is a five step ladder. i've looked on the net, but cannot find it. any ideas?

This ladder was factory installed in my 2003 -

Works real well.

actually, the ladder we saw can be described like this: take the number "7", turn it 180 degrees to the left. now, what was the top of the 7 is on the bottom. this is mounted to the swim platform at the r/h end so it can pivot to the right. the bottom part is now vertical to the left, flat against the transom. also, the vertical part has a secondary extension that is parrallel to the transom also. in use, the ladder pivots out over the end of the platform, and the secondary extension folds down to extend deeper into the water. i hope this may make the visual image clearer.

Like this one? If you open the picture and make larger it is easy to see.

yes, it is very much like that. does your ladder open up to provide an additional couple of steps? do you know the name of the ladder, or where it was purchased? thanks.

Yes it opens. If you enlarge the picture you can see the additional section against the transom.

No, I don't know the name or where to buy one. It was on the boat when I bought it.
