I come & go in the water using the K -Planes for footing... but I am very aware of that prop & would not be comfortable letting young kids do the same.... you can board the Y2K from the back in the water if you are very careful... I just wouldn;t let a young child or someone unfamilar with the boat back there... one slip & its a hospital trip!

Same here. That's why I am so intent on finding a solution. Another thing that makes my situation worse is that I have ITS, so the drive sticks out an extra 7" or so.

I think any kind of rope ladder used in the back would have a tendancy to swing under the platform when weight is applied to it.

Oh, and I got a few real nice plush bath rugs that I use on my hatch. They have the rubber stuff on the backside.

I was thinking the rope ladder off the back side near the back seat? Maybe the back side corner?

I think I will give that a try. It's the cheapest and least intrusive option. So, I don't really have much to loose.
