ABSTRACT:
A true marine portable boarding platform for the sides of boat hulls and boat transoms that attach to the topside of a hull, gunwale or deck of a boat and also provide three dimensional adjustments for adapting to the various boat designs of different boat manufactuers. The boarding platform consists of wooden planking attached to a stainless steel tubular frame having a padded bumper bar. The platform frame is hinged to the telescopic side sections of a supporting carrier bar in such a way as to allow the platform to fold up within the adjusting tubular framework of the carrier bar. The platform's flexible mounting assembly includes (1) a pair of hangar brackets that are swingably attached to the upper sections of the carrier bar and (2) a pair of self-locking deck plates that are insertibly engaged by the adjusting notched pins located on the opposite inboard ends of the hangar brackets. An independent portable ladder is also provided attaching freely and securely between the wooden slats and the platform's tubular frame and resting slightly outward on the lower section of the carrier bar. For the first time, boat owners now have a choice of type, size and placement of a platform for their boat.
