    Bass Boat Steps

    So happy with BoatEFX products! These boat steps are a game-changer - incredibly convenient and a breeze to install. Highly satisfied with their functionality and ease of use.

    Nice first post! Don't know if you noticed but the company is just a few miles from you. Coincidence?

    I do see that boat Efx is indeed a sponsor here, so I guess you're just really happy with their product and not spamming the board. Congrats on your steps!!

    Have not had any problems at all with my steps!!

    By the way they also offer an extension handle on the top to guide you back a few inches, ordered one for my trailer yesterday.

    I had to extend my hitch almost 6 inches to keep from hitting my tailgate. But they didn’t make the steps for my trailer. So I had to get a universal set of steps.

    Now that I've had trailer steps I won't own a boat without them. Same with the ramp n clamp.

    I spoke with them a few days ago and they told me they redesigned with new angles so that turning radius is not affected. That is what sold me on Efx

    You must be younger then me, to much distance between your 3 steps for my old knees. I went with a 4 step Trick Step.

    Me too, I am 77 and love the 4 step, just wish the step pads were a little bigger for my size 12 foot. My Triton trailer tongue allows me to turn as sharp as I need to even with the tailgate down and the EFX steps are not in the way.

    I bought the 4 step BoatEFX only because it was all they had left when they were selling off the last of the first generation steps and I'm glad I did. Extends no closer to the ground than the trailer frame and puts the top step even with the deck. Never had any issues with making sharp turns, in fact on the boat I have it would be impossible to even get close to my truck based on where the steps are mounted and the length of the tongue. I would not hesitate to buy another set in the future.
