Swim platform on a 2004 Lowe FS185 install questions

[savage25xtreme]

As stated in the title I have a 2004 Lowe FS185 and I would like to install a Garelick Platform and ladder to help people get in and out. Dimension wise the platform will fit great but I see no way to access the inside of the transom to put bolts or nuts to mount the platform. It also looks like that cavity back there is full of foam. Are there some kind of anchors that you can put through the outside? Any help would be appreciated. I hope I posted this in the correct subforum.

Just out of curiosity, why can't you get to the inner transom?

I would not trust it to be stong enough without any thru transom bolts.

There is no access, I can take some pictures. The closes access point is the battery area, but it is walled off with aluminum sheets on 3 sides. The open side goes back to the bilge/cables area but that also has an aluminum wall going to either side of the transom. I can see foam that has oozed out in the corners in that area. In short both those areas of the transom that have room to mount the platform are completely walled off and full of foam.
