The easiest to install is definately the Windline 2 step ladder, I'd also argue the strongest. I originally wanted and went so far as to buy the same teak style platform that Joe Kriz and others have on their boats. However, after receiving the platform and trying to figure out how I'd install it, I realized I'd need to pull off my teak gunnel cap, drill a rather large diameter hole in the top of the gunnel and scoop out some foam to thru-bolt one of the platform supports on. Seemed a bit too difficult and invasive so I went with the Windline ladder. Also, my brother-in-law is a big boy, he tips the scales at 320lbs and I doubted the platform style ladder would be able to handle that much weight even if it was done properly.
