Curious if anyone has added a grab bar anywhere to assist in getting up on the swim platform. The twins take a lot of space and not much to grab trying to get out of the water after a swim. Kids seem to make it easily but us old folks struggle!

Thanks. My ladder goes down along side of the port engine but this might work.

I have a 2004 Gulfstream and added a grab bar. The ladder is the narrow version, that is located on the back of the platform. I have twins and it is a bit tight in the platform in that area. I added a stainless steel grab bar, about 18" long (maybe 24") so standing on the ladder allows a person to grab the vertically positioned grab bar by your right hand. It works great. I got one of those suction-type ones and tried it in several different locations (horizontal and vertical). Once I liked the location, I had the boat yard install the SS version. If I can find a picture of it, I'll add it. Hope it helps. Take care.
