I just wanted to let you all know that I found and mounted the perfect swim platform/ladder on my 1988 17' Mountauk. I purchased it from Raymond at MartinMarine Design. Laying out exactly where to mount it on the Port side stern was a little trick. But overall a perfect fit and finish. I will attempt to get pictures on the Fourth of July while I am out in the boat to share.
Great service, thank you Raymond. Wonderful product.

I second that opinion. I installed one on my 1983 Montauk a couple years ago and it is awesome. I am 6'3" 260 lbs and I use it all the time. There is some initial sticker shock but once you climb into your boat with ease you will have a short memory of the money you spent.

I have an 84 Montauk 17. Can you post a link as to how to reach the people who sold you your swim platform? Got to go snorkeling on Rainbow River, Dunnellon, FL. Thanks

I recently installed a Martin Marine Design swim platform/ladder on my 1970 16-foot Whaler. Any doubts I may have had about about this decision have vanished. It does not affect normal operation of the boat, and climbing aboard the boat from the water is now extremely easy.

ditto ditto
I have used my platform and ladder many times in the past couple of weeks and it is the best addition I have done to my boat. I am no small man, and this thing is strong and very sturdy. It sits just above the water while the boat sitts in the water so it gets no growth. The ladder is GREAT with 3 rungs. It looks like its supposed to be there.
The only minor issue I have had is that the ladder rattles a big at idle, a small bungee cord took care of that.

Hope everyone is enjoying there whaler's this summer. get out there and use it! Summer is flying by quick!
