My age is catching up to me. It is getting more difficult for me to launch my boat by my self. I do not have the balance to "walk the trailer tounge" and get in the boat safely. I am thinking of getting some steps that mount to the trailer tounge and am wondering if any of you guys have done this and how it worked out for you. The one that I am looking at on line is Easy Steps, but I would be interested in any other devices and inputs on this subject. Sorry, I have not figured out how to include the link to Easy Steps in the post.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.

The Easy Step is the best for the money, and they are made over here by me. I just purchased my second set, my first set went with my other boat, you will love them and your body will thank you

Thanks everyone!
What a timely topic for me.
New boat coming and I have chronic back problems. It's extremely hard for me to clamber into a boat on the trailer.

PoBoy, bayoubob on here recommended Rackbiz.com out of Washinton. It is a single step but a very good one. Most companies sell this step for 60$. Rackbiz was 30$. Best investment I have made in boat and treiler. I am thankful for his suggestion every time I use my boat.Hope this helps.My cell is 214-773-7383. Call if you have any questions. It was also very easy to install.

I ordered the one from Charger to put on my Triton TR-21. I had a local welding shop do the needed modifications. Moved the pole over next to the steps and adjusted to angle so it lined up properly to my boat. I am very happy with it.

I put ezeesteps on my trailer last year and it was the best investment I've made for my boat.
I'm 69 yrs old and not as sure footed as I used to be. No more trying to climb over the trolling motor or standing on the fenders to get over the side of the boat. I also installed a wide step on the tongue. I can now safely unhook my boat and enter it without fear of falling in or hurting myself.

I bought mine at www.ezeestep.com/. They make them to custom fit your trailer.

The Easy Steps work. Every trailer should have them.
