Cisco put a link up to a boat a while back Ive the same idea Id like to make some thing you could remove and pack away when you sailing
Put it on when your anchored
you could slide some thing into your cock pit drains when anchored and clip it on a couple if life line wires clipped to something maybe your davit mounts
fits under the settee when your sailing
Ive got a folder some where with a few nights of Googling with duck boards cant find it there was some really nice ones in the states Ive the link some where
Ive a fender step here all Ive done with it so far is fall over it and dislocate my bloody finger nearly broke my neck
Im going to build a carbon hinged dive/marlin board over the next 12 months. a great investment!
They are great but your transom looks to be a bit high for one to be of any use. The bottom of your transom looks to be about 500 mm above the water.

you could add a sugar scoop stern S.A. that would be at least several slabs before it ws finished

nah, come on boys you need to think outside the square:
you need a lily pad: about $600 for a big one

For Icon above I would think a duckboard that folds but also is fitted on slides so that it can be lowered below the waterline. The whole idea I presume is to be able to get back onboard after snorkeling etc. Scuba diving it would be handy to off load bottles. I would not bother with carbon fibre though. It needs to be painted anyway for UV protection. Slatted teak perhaps.
I made my own out of Merbau. It's slatted and put together with stainless c'sk allthreads.
Two heavy duty stainless hinges bolted to the transom and two chains from the platform to the
rear staunchions hold it up. I fold the platform up when I leave because the ducks camp on the
platforms over night and leave messy deposits all over them. I'm considering putting davits
(which I have) on the platform so I can pull the dinghy up on it rather than tow it behind.
The outboard will fit on a pad slung on the push pit.
Have you nothing better to do HO2 !
There are only one or two that are simular to what I will be building.
I will use carbon and high denticy closed cell foam.....as I want strength and low weight.
My vision is that it will be a slopping carpeted hinged ramp that will be adjustable by the davits and possibly can take the tender.
Unfortantly I have enough jobs at the moment so it will remain in the design ,beer and bull**** corner for now.
case closed for now
Ill be making the removable one thats for sure but ,like you its bull and I ave no time as I own a B.O.A.T.
