Getting out of boat

[minnowtime]

I need something to get me off the bank (ground) into the boat. A courtesy dock would be nice at all boat ramps.

My dad always told me that gettin' old wasn't for sissies. I am beginning to understand what he meant.

Check out the PONDTOONS from Geneva Alabama. Solved a lot of problems for me. Sold my 18' Lund and bought a 1672 Model PONDTOON. The only reason I am still fishing. You can pull up on the ramp or shoreline and step up 4" to get on and down 4" to get off. Don't even have to go to a dock!

I went to a local welding shop and had these steps made and put on. Cost me $50. I had to paint them, but they do the job. I know if I want to remove them, I'll have to grind them off, but at my age I doubt I'll ever remove them! Make sure when you have them put on they don't stick out too far so your tow vehicle doesn't hit them when you turn sharply. I don't have a designated hand rail on mine, but I'm sure one could be adapted.
