I have a '86 36 Open with a swim platform but it's not factory. Installed sometime after and it's metal. It's also very low to the water which has it's advantages and disadvantages. Easy to get back on but a long step down from the transom door. If I find another platform, I think I'll raise it up a bit.

In terms of yours, I'm thinking just be sure it's long enough and can drain the water easily to take the stress off of the fittings.
