I am looking for a aftermarket swim ladder that can be bolted onto my aluminum swim platform. The boat is a 1999 Baja 29 Outlaw. The boat did not come with a swim ladder and it is not fun climbing back aboard after swimming. Any ideas on a good product? Any clue as to who the original manufacturer of these was for Baja? I really do not want to weld anything. I prefer to bolt it underneath the swim platform.

- Here is what I bought and the exact one Baja used. I can help you with how to do it if you buy this one.

I can get this style ladder like I did for this 25 Outlaw, but your swim platform must have the alum. mounting brackets welded into the design? Most 98' 99's did not.
Price is $200.00 ea.

both of the swim ladders look like what I am looking for. Thanks. I need to look at my swim platform tomorrow evening to see if it has the brackets you mentioned. As far as the windline product is concerned, can I use some threaded "u" brackets and use them to bolt onto the platform rather than having to drill into the aluminum?

The spacing for the Tubes matched up perfectly to the ladder holes so all I did was pull the black rubber piece out (easy to take out and put back in) drilled thru. the tube for 3/8" holes then counter drilled the top of the holes for socket head cap screws. Then used nylon lock nuts on the bottom side and put the black strips in. Done

Outstanding information. Thank you very much. I am going to the boat this evening and measuring the platform to verify the dimensions on the Windline ladder. If all looks good I will order it on-line tomorrow. Thanks again...
