I need to pick a ladder

[rcl700]

Hello all!!

Just found this forum today and its full of good info. Thanks!

I have a 20ft toon with a 90hp Tohatsu

I need to get a swim ladder for my boat. I hope you guys can point me in the direction of whats good and whats not.

I have a lift trailer so nothing can be mounted under the deck. Are there good low cost ladders?

Help me out please. post pics of what set up you have and what works good.

I have two side gates and a front that can be used.

This about your cheapest route for a toon. Toons need more rungs to get deeper in the water. As you can see these have a place where the ladder hooks into the deck. We used one of these for years. Just be sure a have a rope tied off so ladder won't sink.

I saw a guy at the lake that had a sun lounger (little tube kind) with noodles on one end and hooked to toon on the other.

Would be cheap to make thats for sure. I am thinking of doing it this summer.

Insurance and laywers run the price of everything up, I didn't check the price, but I have to make one for that price

As for the dog, you can get a ladder plank that you would use for two ladders and mount it under the boat in the center. You would need to figure out the flotation for it though.

As for the ladder, any ladder will work if you can make sure it is firmly attached to the decking and has a support to stop it from going under the pontoon.

Good luck.

I have the windline folding ladder that lakerunner posted the link to. It works very well on the side gate of our Crestliner and is long enough to get on without any problem, even with my and my wifes back problems.
