    I installed the flat step all aboard ladder and it's been working great for my family.

    I'll second the All Aboard Ladder. After I did lots of research online saw many stories of ladders that broke. Also looking at ladders in boat shops many are no where close to quality of the all aboard ladders. This might be a buy once cry once product. But a well built sturdy ladder doesn't take up lots of space and very functional. IMHO well worth the cost.

    I installed a two step ladder made by DOTLINE available from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/DotLine-UFM2A.../dp/B0000AYFSI
    They also make a 3 step.

    Hi Goldstar. Have you used that ladder, or is it for emergency use?
    I want to install the same ladder on my 175 but it looks like it would bend during use due to the angle.
    I intend to use it for an emergency, however it would be nice if it worked more than once without bending.

    Thanks, Jeff

    I have tested it out in my garage by climbing on it with my full weight (220#). No problem. A little flex but no bending. I have it for emergency re-boarding.

    Another step is made by a gentleman in our area in Pennsylvania. It's found at www.therescuestep.net. Nice guy and the step is very sturdy. Will be purchasing it myself for my pt190.

    I have a Twist Step, which mounts to the port side engine bolts. I would definitely recommend you get some kind of handle to pull yourself into the boat. Roy (BasstrackerOptimax) made me a great handle at a very reasonable price. Don't know if he makes them anymore, but worth checking.
