Adding Steps from Aft Deck to Swim Platform
We have a 1988 Carver 4207. We want to replace the ladder from aft deck with steps. Any advice on companies that do this or DIY advice would be very appreciated. We are in the Alton, IL/St. Louis MO area. I attached a picture of an example of what we are looking for. Thanks,

Re: Adding Steps from Aft Deck to Swim Platform
There are a couple threads on here that cover some spiral steps down to the platform that work on the 80's vintage aft cabins too.

Re: Adding Steps from Aft Deck to Swim Platform
These guys are in Canada but I'm sure there are suppliers in the US too. You may also check with companies that build swim platforms, some carry the stairs as well. Also look for marine stainless steel fabricators. Here is an example of the generic stairs... https://stainlessoutfitters.com/boat-stairs/boat-stairs-for-seniors/

I know this doesn't apply here, but one of our dock neighbours years ago had a German shepherd that could actually climb up the vertical steps to the fly bridge on his Ray, it was quite something.
