1967 Holiday swim platform/tower question

[ClockRocket]

Looking to set my boat up for the summer, really mainly looking for pics on how other holidays are set up for a swim platform considering that the transom is so low and their is a large aluminum piece that covers the back of the boat. Also I have a kicker plate bolted on to the transom on the right side, so that area is kind of out of the question. A over the rail ladder wont work because my mom, and brother can not climb it. Any ideas or pics would be kindly appreciated, and before I forget I would also like a pic of a ski tower, or something of the like.

I had a ladder from a Hurricane deck boat that with a little creative work was able to mount. A true swim platform wasn't going to fit on the transom of my Mariner. Getting in the boat is a breeze now.

Had the over the side one from my old boat but it was a no go on this boat. None of us could get back in the boat, LOL.

19536 I believe. There's I/O and outboard models and ones with the telescoping ladder or a folding ladder. I thought the two step telescoping ladder would be the way to go. The most unbelievable thing ever is that my boat came with a real rough teak swim platform. This one actually mounts in the same holes! What are the chances?
