Sure does look neat ....expensive to. We could get EZ to make us one but I do not know if he is set up to weld stainless. Might could make one out of aluminum.
Buy the boat Major, I'll bet they will throw in the ladder for free!!!
Stainless welds the same as steel you just need stainless rod
Most folks that weld seem to think it does better with a TIG welder......but yeh I have stick welded some with a stainless rod before.....I think for looks it turns out better looking with the TIG. But anyhow, I bet EZ could design an make one. A friend of mine just bought a new Nitro Z7 and it came with that ladder on it.
Don't think that boat will fit in the Majors garage TushQuote:

Thst's cool. I like it.Thumbs Up
I sure am looking for a new glass boat and have about decided that it will occupy the whole garage.
Major, before you do something crazy, look at the ladder on my boat. It attachs to the motor support with 2 nuts. You can see it at www.basscat.com. Well worth the money.
I thought that the Major was going to swipe the Red Rascal from BRM? LOL!!!!!!Quote:

My boat dealer wouldn't even install my extra seat pedestals on account of them not being in the center if the boat and not installed by the factory.
Have you actually tried to get in your boat from the water using an E-ladder? I had one mounted to my jackplate on my Nitro and I couldn't get in. The ladder is too short and I didn't have a handle in the back to help pull myself up plus you can only use one leg, How do they expect you to take two steps with one foot? Think about it. I managed to get in by stepping on the cavatation plate and grabbing the transom but it was very difficult and I tested it under perfect summer conditions. I would have drowned if it happened in January. Recently I added a swim platform to my transom that has two wide steps and two grab handles. It's much easier to use but not near as sexy. Just something for everyone to think about when looking at ladders.Quote:

G this is the one I have now. I know this type of ladder isn't for everyone but I fish 11 months out of the year and often alone during the winter so I had to have something I felt I would have a reasonable chance of getting back in the boat if I fell overboard during the winter in full winter gear.
I HAVE to get something installed on my boat by next summer. It's real hard to get back in the boat as high as the sides on mine are
Do you have a pic or a link?Quote:
