I have a 1952 Speed Queen that has been restored.

I am now looking to add one of those short little platform swim ladders; it has one step and like a hand rail you pull yourself up on...not a long hanging, fold up one.

First have no clue if this ladder will work with this type of boat...

Two have no clue if I can install a ladder on the back of this fiber glass boat? If its strong enough, will it support the weight of people climbing and pulling on it? The back of the boat has room of about 18 by 18 inch

Any advice is appreciated!

I tried to add a picture but it says the file is too large, I would email if its helpful

Yes it can be mounted if it will fit the shape of the hull. It will require stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts. It needs to be bolted solid to the transom and all the new holes in the transom need to be sealed properly.
