Re: M_Boats: Boarding Ladders & sculling

Hi Sandra and everyone on the list,

A few years ago BoatUs printed an article on tests they conducted on boarding ladders. Its a little dated but interesting reading. The link is:

BTW as soon as it warms up I plan on installing an adjustable motor mount and ladder. I bought  a ladder similar to the trimline from the Potter factory. It is usually installed on their P19 and comes with one additional step. Based on previous comments I also plan on adding additional backing.
