I read with interest some postings about how hard it is to get onto the production swim ladder. While we were waiting for Lucinda to be hauled out in the fall, another boat destroyed our swim ladder, so I'm hoping to use the opportunity to find one that will go farther into the water when deployed, especially if there were an emergency. Been looking at an Oceansouth USA: Transom Ladder 45.3” Retail approx. $103 or Overton’s Top-Mounted 4-Step Stainless Steel Swim Platform Ladder (47” below deck.) Retail approx. $140. The yard cautions that because of the shape of the transom, neither of these might be a good option. They suggest maybe adding a few rope steps. Does anybody have a suggestion on how best to proceed?
