Grant knows these boats inside and out having rigged 14 or 15 of them and raced them. He has been helping me with the build from the start and is great to work with. Knows his stuff!!

We added a lot of small changes but the most noticable will be a small bustle with a step in it to help boarding from the water.

I have looked over Kaps when it was here for the 200 a couple times. I was wondering how boarding from the water would be. I do anchor out quite a bit with my skater.

I believe that the slope in the middle can be textured down with non skid surface

....then use this hide-away ladder. I've seen these in OuterLimits boats. This combo would make egress into water safer and quicker.

The back of my DW has non-skid down the swale. Once you walk down the back getting in and out of the water is really easy. My kids do it all the time. You don't need a step at all.

I figured you had textured access...no way to walk up that slop if it's waxed like the rest of your boat LOL. the swim platform on my sunsation has a textured finish but it's still slick as owl feces when it's waxed!!! just ask me how I found that out!

How's about putting doors on cats, like they do on CC's


Then we won't need to exit over the transom or climb over the gunnel
