A buddy of mine made one. Dose anyone sell one? As we get older climbing off the front of boat to hook up boat to trailer is getting risky!!

I haven't climbed off the front to hook up in years. I drive the boat on the trailer, pull it out and hook it up on the parking lot.

Here's one my fishing buddy made for me. The steps are steel that has been wire brushed, primed and painted aluminum to match the trailer. The rubber material on the steps was left over from another project and the hand rail was done at an aluminum fab shop out at the lake.

They do look nice. They ought to for the $$$$$. But it is a specialized item. It's not like there are 100 different companies making them.

Wife and I fish together and she drives the boat on the trailer. I was having to walk out in the water to latch the boat as it would slide back about a foot as I drove up the ramp and was really hard to winch up. Went online and found an auto latch called a Drotto latch. Pricey but works really well.

I've got about $25 in mine that I made. I wouldn't want it designed any other way but I'm sure as heck not going to show a picture of it after looking at those other two that were made. flehan

I can't weld and I'm broken in body. The $$ spent on the Easy Steps were money well spent.
