    Default Step on trailer for climbing in and out of boat


    Would like help with purchasing or building a simple step, to attach to trailer to get in and out of boat from the side. small Tracker Pro-170, and it is wider then the trailer frame. Could fabricator make a step, that would attach? and estimates on cost? Is pre-manufactured available anywhere? Tongue swings, so front ladder seems limited.

    Appreciate Ya'll

    A front ladder makes more sense than a side. When backing the boat in, the side ladder will be in the water. Just buy a right or left handed ladder that is
    opposite of the tongue swing. A fabricator can make anything but one off the shelve will be lighter.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    Here is the ladder that Diamond City Trailers built for my Excel Bay Pro 230 trailer. It was aluminum and powder coated.

    Those are some fine lookin' and vary functional lookin' steps guy. I've been eye-ballin' various step designs for my boat... and more seriously as "geezerdome" continues to bare down on me.
