Skeeter tongue step

[bke]

I was wondering if anybody has seen the Skeeter tongue step. If you have what do you think of it? I am thinking of buying one.

[tdh]

mine is actually a storage box.

[dimitri]

my 2018 zx250 trailer has one and it is really convenient but if your balance is not as good as it once was i suggest you get one with a grab handle like basscat puts on their trailers.

I use mine. Not saying it’s a game changer but since it’s there I use it

[bke]

how big are the steps

[Hchamberlin1]

Without measuring I would say 4x16. There’s a very slight flex to them when you walk up them.

I was also looking at the trick step

I use mine all the time but be careful and think about putting higher grade bolts on the mount. I’m 6’6” about 230 so I’m not too heavy.... My forward bolt broke and the entire unit swung down taking me with it. Picked up some quality replacement hardware and it’s been fine since then. Don’t know what grade bolts they use but it sure didn’t hold me. Every time I step on it I have flashbacks... Good luck!

Are you talking about the bolts on the trick step

Are you talking about the bolts on the trick step

No sir, the factory two step assembly that came on my 2017 FX21LE. The forward bolt closest to the tounge snapped on me and the unit rotated.

Looks like from the pic that they are kind of under the bow a little too far for my taste?

Maybe just the pic making it looki like that?

trick steps has four bolts no two Trick Steps is what I use

Seen a few at the boat ramp . Never used one or ask how they like them . What is Skeeter asking for them . they look well built for a add on .

My best friend has one on his zx225 trailer and he hates it. He launches by himself quite a bit and says its a huge pita because its in his way pushing the boat off the trailer. He has actually talked about removing it.

I’ve used one several times on a buddy’s FX21LE. We both prefer my Trick Steps.

What if when loading miss bow (waves wind etc) will you hit it?

[Hchamberlin1]

I guess you could but it would have to be a very bad load. You’d probably be up on the fenders to hit it

I use mine. Wish I had it on previous boats. Very convenient.

My 2018 Skeeter that is that exact color has the step and I like and use it. It would be nice to have a handle though.
