I had and All Aboard ladder on my last BassCat and it worked great. Bolted right on my jack plate. Only needed it once but that was in the winter and in my opinion paid for itself just that one time.

Bass Cat offers a factory boarding ladder that mounts to the hull and top cap on the starboard (right) rear corner of your boat. It is a high quality stainless steel unit. My Puma and my last Jaguar both came with one. Have you checked to see if it will fit with your poles? Contact Bass Cat and they will have a solution.

I feel that a ladder is a must! Good friend of mine fell in in January. He was fishing alone and there were no other boats around that day. He almost died that day.

Best wishes
