Looking to install a step (ladder) on tongue of my Ranger R187 boat trailer to make getting up at launch ramp easier. Anyone have a recommendation for one ? I'm sure Ranger makes one but most likely pretty pricey.

The others stick out to the starboard side to clear the trolling motor. This one makes you crawl over the trolling motor. No thanks.

I was looking to buy one but my co-angler (a retired welder) surprised me with this; [Linked Image]

Thanks Jim Sr. I actually had typo in my post. I have RT178. Do you by chance have any pictures of the Trick Step installed on your Ranger Trail ?

Thanks again for all the input. I decided to go with Trick Step. It arrived yesterday afternoon and I installed it today. Super easy install. Took about 15 min from opening box to testing it out. Wish I’d done this a long time ago.

U will be very happy with the Trick Step. I’m on year two of mine. I’m definitely glad I put one on.

How is the post it’s on holding up? I too have a rt just wondering if the post is stout enough.

I've got a Trick Step on my Phoenix, bought it almost 5 years ago for my old Phoenix. I modified it to fit a Skeeter center console, then put it on the new bird. Held up well and I am not tiny at 6'4 255.
