Swim Ladder

I have a 1966 13' Sport and have had a difficult time finding information about what swim ladders work the best on these boats. I'm open to portable/collapsible styles, as well as fold down/extending styles. Thank you for your help.

I'm thinking something like this: https://www.discountramps.com/boat-bo...t=Catchall I'm guessing nothing works perfectly, so unless the experts have a better idea, I'm willing to gamble $40 on "probably good enough" for episodic use.

If it has standoffs, you need to measure to see if they will contact the side. May be too low. http://www.garelick.com/Gunwale-Board...der-System 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
