Anyone know a source or who made the 2 step boarding ladders used on the older Gradys? I might need one.

I would call Grady and ask....they are always supportive of their customers. I once called with a question about a 1985 Offshore that I used to own and they guy on the phone started off with " When we built those boats......" I knew I had the right guy on the phone.

Yea, prob best bet. I'm thinking those are tough to find. Most use the telescoping version now.

I have a two-step folding ladder that came off a 1997 Gulfstream. It was attached to the swim platform. Its looking for a new home. Not sure if its the type that you are looking for. Send me a note40345.jpeg40346.jpeg40348.jpeg40344.jpeg

Hmm. Could be an option if the width is right. What does it measure outside edge to outside edge?

That looks like the right one... You have a manufacturer's tag so can reach out to them if not to see what the sizes were, if it was manufactured and where you can get one.

I'm traveling today. When I get home I will check the width, but I think it is too wide for what I need to do. I think my ladder is narrower. Regardless, the offer and effort is greatly appreciated!
I'll follow up tonight.

Unfortunately that ladder is too wide. I need a 12" ladder like mine.

I did a quick search for Garelick ladders and eBay has many. I might be able to find what I need there. Thanks again Viking for the lead.

I have an original 2 step from my swim platform that measures 13-3/4 width bolt hole to bolt hole center.

I had no idea they made so many different widths and configurations. The one I'm looking for is 12" wide and does not fold.
My plan is to piggy-back to my existing ladder another one that will extend down through a guide rail. For it to work and hopefully not look like a hack-job, it needs to be the same size ladder.
Thank you all for your offers.
