Teak Swim Platform with Ladder

I wanted to make a better boarding ladder system that was still convenient to lower, raise and stow and would have a wider ladder that was deeper in the water for easier climbing. Also, almost the entire rig is configured with standard hardware which can be put back to original configuration easily if desired.


Model Year: 2011
Photo Caption: Original ladder remains, platform is a custom teak plank bonded with epoxy, grooved and edged with a router.
