Looking for an under the platform telescoping ladder. I've looked at several online so I'm looking for real world experience. I have Arnesons so accidentally leaving the ladder down will be disastrous, (maybe self retracting or spring loaded). Going on a 388 Hustler. Whatcha got?

this ladder / very similar ladder was on my last boat, "but it was mounted on top of the platform down in a pocket
with a hatch over it" it worked very well, telescoped in and out and into the channel no problems.
in your case i would make a strap or 2 that holds it in place. put straps on the wheel/ throttles/ shifters/ ignition etc,
while the ladder was deployed so they are in your way before you start the engines.
