Default Best way to get back into a Pantera with no swim platform or ladder if ya take a dip?

I want the ladies to be able to take a dip and get back into the boat.

I guess that the obvious solution would be to get a ladder...

Any other ways to get back in?



If the ladder's the best idea, which one would be the most convenient and cost effective option?


Sorry in advance for the ignorant question, but I just realized the Pantera I'm trying to buy has no swim platform or ladder.

Does it have K-planes and external steering? They make excellent "ladders".

Have them step on the out-drive, and help them in. Rumor has it this is a good way to cop-a-feel at the same time - but I'm a married guy, I wouldn't know if that's true.
Or add a platform.
Mine has a small platform on each side of the transom.

I know it has external steering, not sure about the K planes... Is that shi.t OK to step on?

Extreme makes a great platform for the Pantera. I wasnt sure before I added mine, but it is excellent.

Wish you luck and hope the deal works out. Would be great to have another Pantera in the Chicago area!!
Me too man, I got the financing and called the guy right away.

He said he'd think about it and call me back tomorrow.

Trying not to get too excited 'till it's actually hooked up to my truck.

Gotta link for Extreme?
