Got to get people high
Hey folks, taking the race boat to the boat show in a couple weeks. The issue is, the boat has a single inboard prop that hangs off the keel of the boat so it sits real high on the trailer. To get people a look inside I some how have to get them 3 to 4 feet in the air. Thought about buying a rolling stairs (4 step) but they cost $220.00 plus shipping and above. Plus they are huge and I will only be using it for a weekend. I haven't been able to find anything like I need at any renta stores. What are my options?

Tilt the trailer. Block it up with wood blocks or make a steel ramp to drive one side up on. Be sure you have good tie downs on the boat. Look like the big guys for a fraction of the price.

Home depot, pre cut rise/run steps, box of screws, deck planks, stain.
Could even add some ropes for railings to give it a nautical look.
Under $100 & you'll b able to keep them for climbing in & out while wrenching.

Sadly being there is a chance of up to 10,000 paying people showing up I don't think they will let me build anything. I have to check out a scaffold place tomorrow.

the rental places that that rent out containers and mobile construction job site trailers have the metal stairs. Put two back to back to keep the line moving. Nice boat
