[QUOTE="thill, post: 493318, member: 4972"] Have done this twice in emergency situations. Once was me after a friend crashed his boat during his initial sea trial at about 60 mph. I suffered a badly broken arm, but could have been dead, so I'm very thankful. Using the engine trim worked well to get me in the boat and to the hospital, since I couldn't climb well with the shattered arm. In my jon boat, I have a telescopic 4-rung aluminum ladder that hooks over the gunnel or transom and has rubber-tipped standoffs. We use it regularly during the summer for swimming and tubing. Where it's stowed, you can reach over and grab it. It's very lightweight and works well. It is similar to this one, but I think mine looks a little sturdier: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/Pactrade-Marine-Ladder-Aluminum-Polyethene/dp/B018HL9RZM[/URL] [/QUOTE]
