    I have one for my Xpress... Well worth the money spent. High quality product

    BTO does a great job on them

    Roy (Basstrackeroptimax) built me a grab pole for my tongue steps. He's talented!

    It is my understanding that Roy no longer makes these steps, but I don't want to speak for him. He will probably weigh in.
    This is a link to a commercial step that mounts on the tongue and may be a good second choice.

    Check out Trick Step for the RT series. www.trickstep.com I have one, a little pricey but has 3 steps and a grab bar. Quality product and really help me launch and retrieve the boat easily...

    Nowhere near as nice as BTO's steps but I use one of THESE and it works great for me. I can step right out of my boat onto it no problem. I am kinda tall though..

    I got the EZEE Step ES1 about 3 years ago. It's a 3 step with a handle. Just checked the site and prices have gone up from the $300 I spent. I'm extremely satisfied with mine because I fell 3x before. Flat black paint touches up easy.

    Appreciate the good words from the folks who ordered steps. I enjoyed making them all. I need to pull my link down for the time being i had to close up shop and pack up for now. Not sure of a timeline to be honest but one day plan on taking orders again. I hate to do it because everyone was so awesome to deal with too. Ill be honest it was hard packing it up felt weird alot of crazy stuff happened this last year appreciate everyones patience and understanding.

    BTO, I finally got the handles you made installed on the back of the boat. Sure makes it easy getting up the ladder and in the boat.
