Re: NEW SKIN FOR 96 STARCRAFT
should have explained it better. in the front ... 2 brackets with holes. a small diameter piece of pipe with a washer welded on one end of the pipe, slides through the ladder hole and a pin on the other side to keep it in place. to use it... pull the pipe out and pull the ladder forward off the back L shaped brackets and slide the pipe back in the back off the ladder. treated plywood screwed on top of the ladder with material of your choosing.. carpet, camping/ yoga mat spray glued on top of plywood. it's 6.5 feet. 7-8 would be better.

FWIW an idea you might like: I suspended the 5-foot loading ramps on my ATV trailer by cutting a PVC 4x4 post cover in half and screwing the resulting long "C" channels to the frame crossmembers using large-head self-tapping sheetmetal screws. The ramps glide in easy. I tried the hanger brackets first but found them to be a PITA to hit just right with the long ramps.
I wasn't sure how strong the plastic would be but they have survived many harsh miles bouncing down the highways.

Re: NEW SKIN FOR 96 STARCRAFT
The diamond plate is an interesting look but I wonder if you've gotten any complaints from any of your fellow boaters? The reflection of the sun has got to be blinding some of the other boaters!
