This add on E-Bay is for a folding ladder for B.W.'s

Is this true? If so on what Whaler models and where was it attached?

I haven't seen that ladder on a whaler. I use a Garelik inflatable boat ladder for my Montauk 17 because it was ranked as best by Boat/US. and I've found it works well. Here's a video. http://youtu.be/ejnBBMHie-A

I winter in Ft. Myers and summer in St. Joseph, Michigan. It’s now about 12 years since I’ve joined this group. I gave my 1972 whaler to my daughter and sold the 17’. Bought an O’Day 28 sailboat and sailed on Lake Michigan. Yesterday I bought a 2005 130 Sport.

Thanks for the info.
I have a 1986 13 Super Sport.
I'm thinking the two rung should work.
Which one do you have? (2 or 3)

Do you think the two would work for me?

I have the two rung. I have a 13 Whaler but it's in Florida and I'm in Michigan so I haven't tried it on the 13 but see no reason why it wouldn't work as well. You just have to adjust the rope so it's hanging so that when you step on it, it doesn't go under the boat. I got mine on Ebay for $40.00 so if you look around you may not have to pay full price.

Thanks. I will.
Welcome back we had a really 'exciting' winter here. I want to be cautiously optomistic and
say were done with winter. Whew!
