does anyone have a good recommendation for a boarding ladder for the front of the boat? I just bought the boat and beached it for the first time and it was a ***** to get the kids back on the boat. Any ideas?

Get a sand spike and don't beach the boat bow first. Set an anchor off the bow and pull the transom back towards the beach and use the sand spike to tie the transom off at the beach. That way you can use the transom ladder. Just a suggestion.

I use the boarding step from Slide Anchor. Works great !

thanks snowboy thats the one I have been looking for but didnt know what it was called
