Default swim platform ladder help for 382

I am looking for the ladder that goes in the swim platform on my 382. The ladder was missing when i bought it and a new one from formula is almost $800. Also need pics of the ladder so i can try to match something up if anybody has some. Thanks

contact Robert Nelems here on the forum. Best case scenario you can get ahold of one thru him for a fair bit less that $800 and be an exact replacement so you can use the same mounting holes.

You might check and see if a Windline telescoping ladder will fit under the hatch. If so, it might be a better option, as it has flatter shaped steps instead of the round tubes on the original ladder. Could be tight though - there's not much depth to the ladder storage area.

Here are some. Mine bolts up underneath the swim platform.
I took these shots last summer for a friend with a checkmate looking to do the same thing. I'm not sure how he bolted his up- but I know he has a solid fiberglass platform- and his old ladder stored topside. He may have drilled new holes or something. Not sure if he was able to use the same holes.

By the way- this is a windline. http://www.windline.com/
The red button on the port side releases the ladder.
Push the ladder back in and it locks. Works really well.
If I recall they may not show this exact model on the website.
If you need the model # I can provide.

also- the flat steps are really nice. It's basically two small tubes with a small plastic insert.
If you phuck up and drive with the ladder down.... they can come out, but they do snap in and out quite easily so it's not a big deal.
Also, the flat steps are really nice. It's basically two small tubes with a treaded plastic insert that snaps in to each rung.

If you phuck up and drive with the ladder down they can come out. But they are easy to replace.

Come on, no one has a pic of the factory ladder on 382? If I cant find one that will fit in the hatch i will just get the windline and mount it under the swim platform. The windline looks just like the one that was on my sonic.

I have a 382 in the yard. If I get a chance I will take a picture for you. I may also have that ladder available for sale. I will need to speak with the owner of the boat.

It's the middle of the week. Not everyone has their 382 sitting in the back yard. Sorry.
