I can still get in the boat on good days.lol I can't jump out like my younger days. I also am too "husky" to search for the rail of the trailer when getting out. So before I did something crazy like falling at the ramp...I have a new addition.

They're getting more popular every day .... so, if I might, I'd suggest getting the steps & handrail system welded to the trailer tongue. Jus' sayin' !!
I opted for the Drotto boat latch system, for now, and bought the lock to go with it. :ThumbsUp Having the Drotto means I don't have to get out on the trailer tongue & winch the boat up the last 6-12" (as I had been doing in years past). But, the steps/handrail system is probably not all that far into the future for me, too.
I put a Trick Step on my new boat last year. Couldn't imagine fishing without one nowadays. 63 YO and 2 knee replacements.
Very nice
What a great idea, and it keeps you boating before something bad happens - as you say. Enjoy it!

Mine came in yesterday from BoatEFX. Hope to get them installed this coming week. Congratulations on yours. Like you my knees are shot and I don’t jump anymore either.
Easy step system steps. They are the galvanized model. Kind of pricey but worth it to keep fishing on my own.Quote:

I'm with Pappy. Drotto was the best money I ever spent on my boat. I am 73 years old and fish alone. I let my tailgate down before launching and and step over in the back of the truck and over onto the front of the boat and unlatch the boat. Loading, I drive up until it latches and then step over on the tailgate and pull out. Will never own a trailer without one.Quote:
