Added to this: if you get a boat with a little swim platform or a big one, I suggest a 4 step collapsible ladder. which should bolt on where the old ladder goes (usually only 2 steps). You can swim up to it, and then just climb up it onto the platform or boat. Best just over a $100 purchase I have made on the boat.
