I remember seeing Bobthebuilder out at Key Wayden (sp?) and he had a nice fiberglass ladder to get on the front of his boat. It was even orange and yellow to match the old boat.

I would go with the telescoping and try to keep as much weight in the water until you are ready to go up. I'm a big guy, 6'4" and 250, use the water to your advantage, you weigh less while floating...and if you want to knock some off...remember portions...

I think this might be a good choice. Rated to 400 lbs, it looks like a very sturdy boarding ladder.
They are $177-$205 for either a three or four step.

This thread was started in what I thought was a humorus tone and I responded in a way that I thought would lighten it up a little.
One of the problems with comunicating like this is that you cannot see the person who is posting to read his facial expressions or hear his voice. Maybe if I could have I would'nt have posted what I did. But I did.
It would seem that some may have read into my post that I was poking fun at ''large'' people, nothing could be further from the truth. I was a fat kid growing up and I struggle with my weight every day of my life. I work out and watch what I eat and do the best I can to keep it in check.
Obesity is no laughing matter. I'm sure that I have quite a few years on most of you so this come from years of experience and observation. The sooner that a person makes the dicission to take better care of themselves the better. What may be a problem with a swim platform now can lead to devastating health problems later in life. I see this in friends that I went to school with and have done business with for a long time.
If you want to call me a ''salad eater'' and think that I take that as an insult you are wrong. I eat salad, steak have a drink or two once in a while and know all to well where all the dairy queens in this county and serveral others are located. (damn oreo blizzards) but I do the best I can to balance my caloric intake with what I burn.
So, if I hurt anyones feelings, I'm sorry. Just please take care of yourself.
