So I would like to get a swim ladder but really only like this kind as it doesnt kill the looks of the boat. I would call Checkmate to get one but we all know thats not possible :brickwall:. Tried Google & no luck.

That is the new style that Checkmate started using. Not sure where they got them from. Only bad thing about them is on a 2100, the area where the deck and hull meet in the back sticks out a bit farther than the step does.
 
Checkmate builds the fiberglass part to work with the folding part they buy from a supplier. Thats what they told me.

Call randy/wildman, that looks like one of his boats and maybe a ladder he installs.

I did PM Randy & he is going to try find out. I dont like people using the lower unit to get in as a step as the prop is very sharp & if slipped your foot would be toast.
 
I think that ladder is available from a place in Calif. called Eddie Marine. If they dont sell it they will know who does. The shop I used to work at in L.A. used to use these on the boats we built.

Yep, Eddie Marine. Rings a bell. They were building the fiberglass so the gel was the same colors they use.

X2! They were going to put one of these on my 2000Pulsare and I had them find me the old style ladder. They don't stick out from the boat far enough and there is nothing to grab to pull your self on up.
 
I rather have something than nothing though & really dislike the look of the "old style" ladders. Plus my mooring cover will not work with a "old style" ladder.
 
only good thing about this ladder is the spring loaded step. that way you can never again accuse your girlfriend of leaving the ladder down!!!!:pissed:

Looks to me like you grab that handle on the side of the motor well!
