fat a$$ vs teak
 

Hi guys.. kind of embarrassing question but here goes..

my ladder (one step) is very high and being pleasantly plump ( 300 lbs) I feel I am going to break it right off my swim platform.. anyone ever see any neat ideas on how to get up on that bad boy.. I raft in 3 ft usually..

I thought about one of those collapsable stools.. just looking for other ideas..

They make collapsable 2 and 3 step ladders.

Have you tried blowing up the Twinkie factory?

:D

That's funny right there!!!:D

My boat came with a 3 step ladder. Sooo much easier to to get up on.

Not embarrassing, dude! Don't let the salad eaters here give ya crap! :drink: I feel your pain. I have no ladder to get back up into mine and I have some weight on you! That collapsable stool sounded like a good idea. I've also been known to use the tie bar on the drives for a little boost if needed. However I have a feeling that except for Twinkie jokes, the salad eaters won't have much in the way of useful advice. :Whatever: I've seen ladders that hook on over the side that looked useful. Check Overtons and West Marine.

Just buy a telescoping 3 step ladder and be done with it.

I have a rope ladder that you can hang on a cleat. it is very long, folds up, and cheap. I got it at wal mart... does the job for me

There is a ladder made that has just one upright with multiple steps. It fits in a socket that mounts to the boat. It is removable when not in use. They make them in different lenths to suit your needs. They are very nice and support a bunch of weight. Don't be embarressed, I'm not petite either. I will have to look for the ladder as I don't remember who makes it. Nortech uses it on some of their boats. It is not cheap, but it is very nice and worth the money. I'll look for it.
