BTW, My parent bought this boat... just to qualify and it was starting to get old when we got it...<img src='../images/smiley/grin.gif' alt='Grin' style='vertical-align:middle;' /> Garlick make something that folds but it is still bulky. I have seen the rope based ones... They are lousy... Hard to use.... I would keep eyes open on ebay, bet you will find one.

I seem to have seen a single step <span style='background-color:yellow;font-weight:bold;padding-left:2px;padding-right:2px'>ladder</span> that will mount on the 13&#39;s transom. I am not sure where I saw that one....please advise if anyone knows where to find one. Thanks. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker

(Sorry your dollar not so good there any more) but have a look at the TREM Boarding <span style='background-color:yellow;font-weight:bold;padding-left:2px;padding-right:2px'>ladder</span>, basically it just clips over the gunwale of the boat anywhere and pulls off to stow... hope this heps Paul

Member Personal Page Posts: 149 Comments: 2 Joined: 12/13/05	I recently mounted a dive <span style='background-color:yellow;font-weight:bold;padding-left:2px;padding-right:2px'>ladder</span> on my Outrage that is removable. It has a single verticle post with three steps & clips into a bracket on the transom. This setup works great, but you need a place to stow the thing when not in use. I will attach a picture later tonight when I get home.

Member Personal Page Posts: 149 Comments: 2 Joined: 12/13/05	Rich Here is the <span style='background-color:yellow;font-weight:bold;padding-left:2px;padding-right:2px'>ladder</span> & bracket assembly I mounted on my outrage. It makes a huge improvement to getting in the boat with dive gear; no more crawling up into the boat. It is a little tight getting up so close to the engine, but there were not too many options for this boat. I am not aware if BW ever had a factory <span style='background-color:yellow;font-weight:bold;padding-left:2px;padding-right:2px'>ladder</span> setup. I was pleasantly surprised how dry & solid my transom is when I mounted the bracket. There are a bunch of ugly repairs present, and I was not sure what I would find when drilling into it. Just for the record, that is not my fiberglass repair; the boat needs some (OK, lots of) love wrt the cosmetics. flippa attached the following image: [25.59Kb]
