I'm having a hard time finding a smaller swim platform.

Most are 18-21 inches. I would prefer one smaller.

Any recomendations. Website to purchase would be great.

Boat is a 1989 17-Ft SS with 75 Merc

Thanks

Steve

I had a standard teak style with the fold over step. It worked fine. What is it about the 18" width that is a problem?

Regardless, there are telescoping ladders that are narrower.

See this search results page from Boaters World. http://www.boatersworld.com/boat-ladd...rs-pg0.htm

Hi southwind,

See my page for pictures of a custom ladder/platform for the same hull. Looks like the same boat as your per the picture B) It was made by martin marine design. Works great, very strong. 3 step telescope, Minimal drilling, easy to install. Ray is a member of this site.

Good luck

Jon
