Nasty fall

**canebreaker** · 02-21-2017, 11:11 AM

I entered boat trailer steps in search for google to do the walking. I found a 2 steps above the tongue, no support for $200. Another model with a third step below the tongue with support and it folds down for $400. They mount with a square bolt on a 3" tongue.

Dang man! Glad you didn't break anything. That's always an issue when ol folks like us fall. I think us fishermen are more flexible than most due precisely to climbing up and down on that boat so often. Be careful.

Ouch!!! Hey Don, get well soon. No rush to ship those rods, wait a week before you ship them and heal up a little. Sent you a PM.

Sorry to hear about your fall. Get well soon.

Hate to hear that. This is what my son has on his boat...with a pole to hold on to. It's really neat, also helps him to load and unload. Don't know why pic is sideways!

Sorry to here about your fall. I was just telling my wife today that in a few years I am going to have to figure out how to load my boat by myself. I let the tailgate down and step onto it but I have to get on the tongue on my knees to reach the eye to hook the winch, since I have to back the truck in to the tires to load. That or I have to put on boots to hook the winch.

I'd have someone make me one. Lots of examples.

Lot of money. I bet you could find someone to make it for a fraction of this cost. But the design is good.

To get one that fits right and works right you really need someone to build one to fit your boat and trailer. I have been looking at the store bought ones for a couple years now and have not found one that would really be a good fit....So I am going to have one made up locally.
