Hi Jorge- Here are some pics of my platform with a ladder. I am a retired mechanical engineer who has repaired or modified many things through my life including home items, my Corvettes and Seafari, often when adding something that was not previously anticipated. Bushwacker and I built nearly identical platforms circa 1977. We had the stainless tubing bent and then cut the teak on my Shopsmith. The original platform served me well until about 15 years ago when I added the ladder underneath. To release the platform, the black knob is pulled to the left and the bungee (on aft starboard corner which prevents the ladder from extending when underway) is released. Then more recently I modified the forward two teak slats to provide clearance for the trim tab actuators.
You will either have to build it yourself or modify a purchased platform. In any case best wishes.
If you need any more info please PM your phone number.
