Jim woke me from my afternoon nap! Don't you know us old geezers need our rest? :lol: :lol: What can I do to help you...or mislead you....or borrow money? Old Bill

I'd bet that your family, and friends would agree that the ladder is worth every cent you paid for it! Very nice looking, and it looks like even I could climb aboard! :lol:

Jim, I may be getting out of line here....but, it sounds like you have a nice boat aluminum boat, and since you are close to being as old as I am, I wouldn't recommend having a ladder made or welded onto you boat's transom. :cry: I made the wood boarding ladder because I just like to make...

Jim, as you can see from the photos of the boarding ladder, I did make one. However, I never did test the ladder under actual boarding conditions in deep water. The only test I did was stand on the lower step to see if it would support my then 200 pounds. The only item I would add to your...

Jim, FishingBuds, & Big Buck, Thank you for the kind words! They made me feel so good that I went out and added two more coats of red paint to the underside of the hatch! But, now I'm so wore out i've got to take a nap! :wink:

Russ, that looks very nice. You do good work!

For anyone interested in a Coleman Crawdad there is one advertised on craigs list in Oklahoma City for $650. https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/boa/801272462.html Looks like it's in very good condition.

Jim, I think heavy-chevy needs to do just that! What a neat looking boat! =D> Just looking at his photo makes me believe that motor is at least 150 HP! :D :D
