Have been following this thread with interest. I've been trying to come up with my own solution to a similar dive swim platform - but not one involving moving the rudders or motor aft. To do this I need a source for a second standard 'M' ladder to mount on the port side. Can anyone provide links or prices? The MacGregor site doesn't indicate this particular item.

Re: Dive platform
Thanx MAN.
U
MACyachties ROCK .(or is it float) 
Exactly wat i was looking for.
If i put sum empty 500ml. coke bottles in the foam it will be lighter and more floatebel (is that a word).
Can not wait to start, but first got a sail-e-way gathering this weekend to asail. (or is it attended )
Spoke to these guy . They think they can help me with the stuff to use. http://www.amtcomposites.co.za/

Why then need a dingy to.
No fear of water getting in, it's already in.

Re: Dive platform
Good catch. I chopped off the "m" in htm. For those of you who never seem to find big enough there is this one: http://www.patioproductsusa.com/Summit- ... 209210.htm
LOL Might affect sailing performance negatively though.

When they told that guy they wanted to go "tubing", he thought they said "tubbing"!
