Well, in my own 'rush to add safety', seems my boarding ladder will not allow me the room to add a 2nd 12' Talon. Wonderful.
Anyone adding a ladder, my best advice, be very mindful of any possible future additions.
God Bless

I rather have the ladder..

Lee,

Things can be modified to fit? This is Texas. There is a few if us with redneck engineering degrees...

That's what I thought but, in best considered opinion, Cal said it could only be done if money were no object or removed and then add the Talon. Having mounted the very hard to find and expensive OEM equipment boarding ladder and drilled holes in the boat, just don't want to remove it.
Man, if there was another 'engineering type... of any kind, redneck or not, I would surely consider it.
For now, looks like it's a 'no go' situation.
God Bless

Lee take the ladder off, put the talon on and use the fins on the lower unit to stand on and push the trim button up and it will lift you right in the boat.

Have someone fabricate you two brackets identical for each Talon that will allow for the ladder to be used.

omg. i thought you got a treble hook from a livingston stuck in you. thank god its only a few holes in the boat. thats no big deal and can be fixed. whew!

Or fabricate a bracket to set the ladder further away from the talon. Come on man, it can be done.

Ok just looked at your ladder... sell the Talon and buy two power poles... should work.

good one....no...no such deal. Thanks, I'm still grinning...
God Bless

He won't be caught by a Livingston again once was all it took.

yeah that was definitely a buy and release...

LMAO. I wish I had the problem of not being able to add a "2nd" talon On my boat! LoL. I bet you figure out how to get the ladder and the new talon to fit!

Lee, I had just put one of the "All Abord" Ladders on my triton TR186.
Two weeks later I had Tiltman put a pair of 12 footer Talons with tilt brackets on. He was able to make a slight bend to the ladder and use the adjustable bracket that came with it to make it all work.
I will be happy to send you pictures if it will help.

If you'd have spent 4k or so on guide trips over the last 12 months you'd be way farther along in your fishing knowledge than 4k in googaw gets you....you got more $ in that stuff than your boat is worth!

And you know I'm not being mean Mr. Lee....just saying
