I plan to mount a swim platform/ladder on my 17 Montauk before summer. I 've seen the inteior wood diagam and I'm still confussed about mounting it to the transom. My plan was to mount it on the Port side rear. I would have two mount holes in the middle, One o the top which could be all the way through, and one on the bottom side. What problems can I avoid?
I mounted a swim platform on mine. Turned out good. A little pricey. But i bought it off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Boston-Whaler-17-Montauk-Swim-Platform-and-Ladder-/260950734233?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&vxp=mtr&hash=item3cc1e03599
I didn't buy the wood from him because i already had a teak board to use. He gave me a price for the stainless brackets separately however i don't remember how much it cost. Works great just make sure you have your holes marked before you drill.
I thought about a platform ladder and not wanting to drill holes in my hull I went with a transom ladder by Windline. A little pricey but works well and stows well.
