Swim ladder -- 42 Ex
 

I just purchased a 42 Ex and noticed it did not have a swim ladder. This is a must for my wife. Any advice on an after market folding type? I looked at a few in the usual marine catalogs and nothing looked like it would work.

here you go, had the same problem back in 98 when i bought my 42 no laddrer. the ladder is the ones they use on donzi's made by a company up east schmidt or something. hope this link works

I think it might be time to add a ladder to my 35. My wife doesn't like stepping on the drives, either.

mine has a slick one from factory.

That ladder looks like it would work great. How does it install? Is it thru-bolted, screwed,or are there expansion type nuts. I don't think there is access to the swim platform from the inside.

I have the same ladder/ bracket at Downtown42... it rocks.
It stores in the bilge or cuddy,. and if you forget to lock the tabs in when using it, it floats to the surface. Carder

Thats the same ladder that came on my Hustler,pricey:(

This works!
 

Add these grab handles. Step on the tab, grab the hadle and pull yourself onto the swim deck

Purchased the 14" handles from Robert ar Fountain.
