Adding a step to OB swimplatform

[Needafunboat]

Hi Guys,

My Starliner has the two little swimplatforms. I was thinking that a single step would help the little ones get in and out.

Anyone ever add one? It seems like it would have to be pretty short so it can fold up without hitting the transom. I have white on my boat as well as the teak accents on the platforms so either wood or white would probably match somewhat. An all stainless would probably look best.

...and yes, I know it will be horrible looking and part of me hates it. But if it makes it easier / more fun for the kids, I've gotta do it.

Thanks for any info!

this one might be a bit better for you, it mounts under the platform:

Thanks guys,

I actually looked at that one that mounts under the platform before. I can't figure out if it folds up, or just telescopes inward. Have you guys ever used this one?

yes, i have used it, works not bad, it slides on the brackets, and there is a strap that holds in place underway
