Reply With QuoteI'm not far behind you Floyd at 71 years young this month. That was my concern also with heavy clothes, I looked at the ladder you put on and have been debating on trying to put one on my boat.

I tried the motor trim technique during the summer two summers ago with a life jacket on and at my age I was stressed pretty good to make it in. I ordered a ladder and installed it then. I don't think i could have made it with heavy clothes on. Haven't needed it yet but I tried it last summer and it still wasn't real easy, but then I'm a 73 yr old geezer!

When I bought my boat I thought about removing the ladder. At my young but abused age, my wife said if I remove the ladder, she'll just up my life insurance!

Another tip to add a few minutes if one falls overboard is to wear wool undergarments. Wool retains some heat even when wet. It won't save you for an extended period, but will add time to the little you have.
