    Default Trailer Tongue Step


    Has anyone seen, heard of or used something like this? Since I launch and load by myself majority of the time, this would be of assistance and not a long stretch getting into or out of the boat. Just trying to be more safe.
    Anybody got some welding skills, for what they are asking for this little jewel, I think it can be homemade!

    I welded my own with 4 steps from the ground to the bow of my boat. I copied mine from Kenny (Ky Rich's Fruit jar partner). With the one pictured you are still going to have to step up on the trailer tongue. I'm not interested in welding one for someone else since my welding skills are minimal at best.

    Mine is like the ESS-4 in this ad.

    Something similar to your picture has been discussed on walleyecentraldotcom.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    I'm at that age now where this will be a blessing to have one installed on my boat. Time to start saving for one.

    Legacy Marine in Grand Rivers/Lake City carry the E Z Step. They usually have at least one model installed on a trailer for demo.

    I considered building mine with 3 steps but my old garbage knees appreciate that lowest 4th step. I have had dozens of folks stop me to ask about mine at the ramp or when I'm gassing up. Somebody with welding skills could make some good $$ building them if it wasn't for liability issues. There an ambulance chaser behind every tree these days.

    I just installed the EZ step. 400.00 well spent. I know they could be made cheaper, but Dux brought up several good points.

    They are helpful getting in the boat at home as well.

    Don' t want to cut anyone out,Amazon has the side step for $99, they have been out of the tounge step but you can directly order from EZ step.

    ...and to one up SirBob's info...if you drop down to Amazon's Warehouse Deals (OpenBox, returns, etc)...that same item can be had for around $64.00. I've had good luck utilizing this feature. Many times it's nothing more than a damaged box with no probs on the actual item.
