Currently, I have a Windline ladder on my 09 232 Limited that swings into the boat which makes it hard to climb for some. I would like to replace it with a new ladder. Any recommendations? I am not the original purchaser of the ladder, so I don't have a warranty. Besides, it looks like Lobostar (who made the Windline ladders) is out of business. Their website still functional, but google said it was perm. closed. A 4 step ladder that doesn't kill your feet when you climb would be great. I am just not finding any aftermarket ladders besides Windline. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Infiniti

I have the same complaint and looking for a solution. I saw some interesting boat ramps at the local boat show that got me to

thinking...

These (see below) seem to have a bar that may lock the latter vertically.

I will look at my boat tonight (its 60 degrees-as if I need an excuse) and see if we have similar bars on our ladders.

There is a lot of force a 140 lb women stepping on the bottom rung of a ladder can put on the other end of the ladder.

I wonder if all the bolt patterns are universal on the mounts.
