After Timmy Tom fell in the water at Winter Camp it had me thinking how hard it would be to get back in my 24" side jon boat if I were to fall in when the water was frigid. I didn't like the options at BPS or other big online stores.
DaleH over at Tin Boats made me hip to this neat little aluminum transom step by Vance MFG. Was only $24.99 shipped. Perfect for those with an aluminum boat like me.
Easy Step

Thanks, Nip. That is reasonably priced too
I have one inbound and will post pics of it when I get it installed.
I'm certainly interested in your review. Video to follow? :biggrin
I wanna see a video of the good doctor showing us how it works in WARM water:biggrin
ROFL I don't think so!
I was thinking current cold water.
We would see some real results! :D
Looks good thanks for sharing
I'm interested also looks like it would work well
The ladder looks like it is well made and should do fine
Post a pic of it installed on the boat ....in the up position and also the down position.
How long are the sides to the step? Does it extend down into the water when in the down position, if so, how far? Trying to figure if I could get my foot into it and still be able to pull up into boat.
Don't know. Still waiting on it. Will post pics when I get it.
HURRY NIP........so many of us are waiting.......
Step came in. Here are pics and the specs. So far looks to be good. Has nylon washers to hold it up in place. Pull down when needed. Not big and bulky. I have time to mull over where to mount until paint comes in for it.

That looks great. Does it "lock" is the up stored position?
The nylon washers pretty much gives it enough resistance in the up position to keep it there pretty good. Over time I don't know yet. I will be mounting this under my transom handle so in the event it gets loose and not hold it up I'll construct a way to tie it to the handle.
Awaiting the installed pics...with both in raised and lowered position
Still waiting on paint and then I'll get it installed.
