This made me laugh out loud.... truth in advertising be damned. Now I need to get one of these ladders too.

How well would these sell if Chris Farley were the model?

A truck camper step might be lower priced. I think that ladder will have the same problem most bow ladders have and that's the bow will start to slide away from the ladder base if the bow is not really hard aground. We use a telescopic ladder and a couple of well placed stakes and lines to keep the bow from moving.

This ladder takes up less space also.
Just make sure to seal the bottom 12" of tubing to keep sand and grit out.

I don't get it. What's wrong with hanging the boarding ladder over the side... no one's even wearing shoes. The rungs look like they would hurt bare feet.. it's so narrow there may be stability problems if boat rock a bit...

If the Mac is beached Dottie and I can get on and off using the Manson Supreme as a step. The next step is longer but manageable, I still might make something that could hang on the anchor rollers though.

If you don't want to get your feet wet, stay on the front porch. Seriously, that looks like a slip/fall looking to happen. And nothing ruins a cruise like injured crew.
