I have a 1652 jon boat. I fish the shallow saltwater flats. I want to mount an aluminum ladder on the front deck for a casting platform. I want to be able to stand on the ladder on the rung that would allow for the top of the ladder to be about belly high. I am guessing that if I had an 8' ladder, I would be standing about 5' above the deck.
So the question, how high would I be able to stand before the stability of my boat became an issue? Should I get a 6' or 8' ladder?
