That is the same exact ladder that came on my 2013 Elite 326 SS, G-3 Suncatcher. It is a great ladder. I had some heavyweights on it this year and it performed perfectly.

I have ordered one of these ladders but now I'm getting worried about installing it. Because of the way the deck is attached to the toons, I do not have any access to under the deck where the ladder will mount. The deck is all aluminum so I know I will have to attach to the the framing. Anyone have any ideas? Will some type of toggle bolt work?

You can't see under the deck at all???

A pic might help, but yes I would think a big ass toggle bolt would work. Can you even get to where the screws will be right at the edge of the deck?

Just ordered one to replace the 3 step one that came on my Sylvan last year. It looks like they are now using this ladder as OEM equipment this year, so if it's good enough to be fitted at factory, it's good enough for me.......

Also, saved over $70 by getting it shipped to the border where I'll drive down and pick it up when it arrives. By the time I've stocked up on cheap (in comparison to Ontario) beer, it's worth the trip.

Yes, Borderboxes - it worked really well for us last time when we got the new bunk guides delivered there.
As for the beer, if it's only $10-$15 for a case, as opposed to $40, I'm not going to complain too much. Plus they usually have Moosehead or some other Canadian ones there too.

Went well! Got to talk with Ty for a bit and got myself a nice high quality stern ladder, bimini light, and fence brace :)

Weather wasn't too bad either. Better than what we have been getting lately.

Got my ladder today and I have to say it is a lovely looking bit of kit. I'm looking forward to installing it once this winter of discontent finally releases it's rather chilly grip on us up North.
