I’ve been noticing lately that my legs are really tired at the end of the day. Old Age is getting me. I’ve had a buddy fishing with me the last 2 weeks that has a bad knee and about to have surgery. Had a BrainStorm to build us a step to assist getting on the casting deck. Tested it Thursday and WOW what a difference. Easier getting up and down. I built it from scraps so the cost was Zero!!

Nice, very cool
Up and down off the deck and work a fellas knees over good. Great work thanks for sharing
Something like that helps the ones like me with an arthritic back too. Now I gotta look thru my scrap pile. Thanks for sharing.
Sweet!
Tell your buddy that needs knee replacement to get robotic surgery, I've now had both in the last May, normal on tbe 1st one and robotic on the 2nd in Jan. Both now feel about the same. Recovery is faster with robotic
That will work.
I used an old exercise stepper for my brother in laws G3 and it was nice to have on his boat with my bad knees. :cheers2
Have y’all thought about getting sea dek type material in your floors? That’s a knee/back saver for sure. I’ve seen some work recently from Jody’s bait shop and it’s super sharp!

I am fortunate to have a step down/cooler combo on my Ranger as my knees are bout due for a rebuild also. I even put the steps on my trailer tongue to help me get in and out the front of the boat and not trip over all the electronics. Best money that I’ve spent in awhile!

The top of the step is interlocking flooring mat. I used it for the floor in my Jonboat. It’s awesome to stand on and non slip. I bought extra thinking I would have to replace, I haven’t replaced any so it’s durable.Quote:

Necessity is the father of invention. Great job, very nice quality job.
That's awesome! And some fine looking "scrap" material too!! Well done!!
Nice work. I'm surprised Yeti hasn't come out with a $450 version of this. I actually did look on their site to see if they made a low height cooler that I could put sea deck on top of to use to get on the front deck of my bay boat. All their models are too tall.
A buddy of mine used a aerobics step in his boat. Works great. He said it was slick when wet though
