[Rhodes22-list] Swim ladders

[Lowe, Rob]

Bill,
I bought one of these a couple of years ago.
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=100850&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=10105&subdeptNum=10397&classNum=10398

I think I got the 4 step wider model (I can check).

It works OK I guess.  It folds up and goes under the seat.  It's a bit easier to use than the stern ladder since you don't have to maneuver around the stays, but it's still a bit of a challenge to use over the gunwale.  The boat will heel when you get on the ladder and the ladder will rotate a bit on the gunwale so maybe a towel under it to keep from marring the finish.  It's not perfect, but it's better than the stern ladder and we do use it. - rob

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a swim ladder?  We have metal  
tube railing at the stern,  plus the two swivel seats.  I wonder if  
anyone has found a removable gunwale ladder that works well?

Thanks
Bill
