ItsBruce:Keep in mind the problem with ladders is that when you put weight on them, they want to swing away from you. Therefore, you will need a way to keep it from swinging toward the hull.
Climbing the boarding ladder onto my boat is always an adventure. If it weren't so hard and dangerous, it would be an Olympic sport!
Bruce,
Bolt on a push pole to keep that ladder from kicking in! Works sweet on my home made dive ladder!
Dive safe,
Brad
Boy them new Aluminum boats are sweet! I am sure one would work great as a dive boat/fishing boat.
