Need ladder replacement or ideas on alternatives

Hey All,
I have a 1990 Cobalt 252 and the ladder is in need of replacement. The metal mounts coming off the swim platform area are fine, but the hinge connecting the top step to the bottom step came apart and now is bent. I have it mended a bit, but it won't last long.

Does anyone know someone ...

Got the piece pictured above installed yesterday. Was tricky drilling the hole and getting underneath to tighten the backing plate but we got it done.

Images of potential replacement. Would just bore out larger hole and have all new piece and new pop up tow.

Re: 1990 Vertical Ski Tow - help

Yeah, I’ve looked all over eBay. Need to call Great Lakes place as I found it a bit difficult to search their site for something so small.

I also think I may just replace the whole thing by installing a pop up tow hook. Pictures of the replacement ideas coming and if the boat.

1990 Vertical Ski Tow - help

Hey all, new to the board. Just bought a 1990 252 and the ski tow doesn’t screw into the metal clasp. It’s as if the metal area that it should screw into is too large for the bolt and it looks like there used to be threading there that is now chewed up.

Any advice, or recommended fixes or places ...
