it would be nice to mount on the under side of the swim platform but on a 32 I dont think it will work,,they sit low and the ladder will always be in the water..and I would not want to drill any holes on the bottom because of the water level,,,,but what ever you do you should through bolted with backing plates and 4200

Pictures are delayed as the boat is filthy (even mold and mildewed) so it is going to take time and plenty of elbow grease to get picture ready.

Drilling only through the top side. I mounted the swim platform with 4 anchors from Lowe's. Very strong with stainless bolts.

We always used the drive to get in but I have seen some put a dive latter mount on the area to the side of the swim platform.

What kind of anchors are you referring? The kind like you'd use on drywall or plaster or concrete? Pardon my ignorance but I can't make out what the picture is.

Yes, they go sideway into a 1/2" hole. A backing plate to secure a stainless steel bolt.
