    Question Steps on the front of trailer

    Looking to buy the steps that mount to the trailer frame by the winch. Getting older and the steps make it a little safer getting up and down. Brothers Skeeter trailer ( Ez-loader ) has them and they bolt on to the frame. Went to Ez-loader site and didn't find them. Any other site that sell them that you know of?

    Thanks, David

    Trick step, ez step, Nitro sells them, Ranger sells them and some fabricators sell them. Do a search and see what you like. Me I found a Ranger step laying in the ditch, recovered them and installed on my Ranger and have less than 50.00 in them. Best 50.00 I ever spent !

    Contact Joe at Trick Step. There was no room on my winch post to mount Trick Steps, so they made a set that attached to the frame.

    The Trick Steps are pretty awesome. I put a set on my Stratos this year and love them. Should have done it years ago.

    That is price for 3 step trick step. They want another $60-$70for a 4th step. Boat EFX is a 4 step set and is closer to the deck to enter. Plus you can get 5% off ordering online. So over $100 savings

    You said you are getting older - if you need wider steps Joe at trick step can do that also. I have a trick step on my deep v bass boat and at 280lbs, i don't feel any safer.

    Do a search on boat steps as there are a few posts in this section. Many have pics.
    I installed the trick steps and am very impressed. I'm older also and they feel really firm and secure.

    I've got the E Z Steps and they work great. Had a 300 pounder from my club try them out, no problem at all.

    I have the EFX steps and couldn't be happier. I'm 6'1" 255 lbs and feel very safe getting in and out of the boat with these.
