I am in the market for a ladder for my Eliminator Daytona. It has the Metal Anodized swim platform. Right now the only way to get into the boat is to pull yourself onto the swim platform. We are looking for a "Spring Loaded Ladder" that pops up when not in use.

Let me know what you recommend or if you have one you would like to sell.

Thanks!!

...a spring loaded boarding ladder.

If you can PM me a picture of your swim platform I can go through the stack of various catalogues I have and online suppliers to give you places to contact.

My first blush thought is the hinged telescoping type of ladder.

Remember, it is nice to have one you can deploy while in the water, for those times when your wife might toss you overboard!

Here you go:

but had not played with them and completely forgot!

Nice catch renodaytona!

Here is the best photo i have with me now of the swim platform.

This is exactly what i am looking for.

Does anyone have one they are looking to sell?

If not i will be ordering one.

...want to bet they can also get the boat step?

Years ago I dealt with Hern Marine on Dixie Highway and they were always good at getting things not in their inventory.

May not be an issue, but better to examine and be safe rather than sorry.

No matter which ladder style you use, be sure to check the bolts and washers of you swim platform. I admit, I tend to be overly cautious, but you might want to consider fender washers for the bolts through your transom.

If they are not through bolted, you might want to consider. You are adding at least a 12" torque component to the platform.

I have the Aqua step on the same swim platform you got. Very high quality piece. Most Everone who uses the step compliments on how nice it is.
