Ladder for a boat

[potsie225]

I have a 1988 Starcraft outboard. I want to install a 4 step ladder, I am thinking stainless steel for strength. Which is better one with hooks for side or a mount of the stern? Thanks for your input. Doug

Potsie, I have this ladder on the transom of my 17 foot Starcraft outboard.... fits like a glove.

TY JD I have been thinking about a 3 step, did you ever wish you had the 3 step vs 2 step. Is your boat at home I live in Greece would love to see your boat and step. Doug

Potsie, I made a mistake in the post above.... I have the 3 STEP ladder on my boat, not the 2 step. I copied the wrong link from Bass Pro.

My 18ft Whaler came with a fold down 3 step highly polished stainless steel ladder (built in to that area of the transom)...it is the "nuts" and VERY strong. If you have an option for marine grade stainless steel vs. aluminum I would opt for it even if there is a price difference. The stainless holds up great overtime...no rust....VERY durable and will take the weight real well.

It looks as though the ladder is mounted to something grey at the top. Is that part of your boat or did you sdd it? ty Doug

A Bow Ladder would also be great to have for trailering and beaching.

A good design needs to fold up and also hold the anchor while underway.

Im looking fo a really nice design.
