My son and I went to an auction in Byhalia saturday. We got there early to view the items and set a price we would pay for each. One item was a pallet of used 3"X12' channel iron. Not knowing the price of metal we set our price at $200, bought it for $40. I'll be looking at designs of steps to choose the one I want to build, most likely a 4 step model.
I might have gotten away with 3 steps but that bottom step is a welcome relief to tried ol' knees, especially getting in the boat. I've seen some custom jobs that had the bottom step much too low for my liking and 3 step model that had the bottom step way too high.
