Just to chime in here and agree with the support and finish of the Swimplatform.com product...
I put one on my 270... it was like adding another room to the boat!
I wish I would've taken pictures of the install... but we were too busy getting the thing put on. I did similar to Quint4... a manufactured table and floor jacks. Some of the bolts were very difficult to get to on the 270... we had to cut the end off of a combination wrench and weld on an extension. Also a word of caution... with some of the bolts, the sealant I used would get on the threads when we poked them through the holes and lock up the nuts before we could get them all the way tight. We had to cut a couple of them off and start over. So if you avoid getting the sealant on threads you will be better off.
A picture of mine on their first Rave page, about 10 from the bottom:

And on the original ladder... I removed it and filled in the holes. Ended up selling it to another 270 owner that tweaked his while backing into the slip.
