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?
 
The outside to outside measurement is 14.5".
 
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.
