In my senior years I'm getting tired of crawling in and out of my boat when launching/loading by myself. As such, I'm looking for a step-up structure that I can mount on my trailer to ease the burden of getting into and out of the boat. Do you all have suggestions/experiences with products that you recommend? Thanks

I have the BoatXFX linked above, really happy with them. They also offer Mil/Vet discount as well. BoatXFX and Trick Step are probably the most popular. There's a few others as well, but I think those are the main ones everyone talks about.

It looks great and I would like to have one. But I'm afraid someone else would want it more.

My neighbor is a retired welder that I’ve taken fishing several times. I once asked him about those bolt on commercial steps. He said they’re good but then surprised me by making what he calls TP (for “Tree Pounder”) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/05/full-103204-184444-img_1479.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/05/full-103204-184445-img_1476.jpeg)

At some point I may get to the point where using my spare tire for a step gets harder. I have been thinking about the steps but need to find some that will fit the ibeams on my trailer and clear my spare tire. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/05/full-6989-184572-20220411_170859.jpg)

I installed Trick Steps on my trailer last year. Wished I’d have done that years ago. Which ever brand you choose, you’ll be glad you did it !
