Well I'll be damned! I'm SO glad I read this thread. I'm not happy that the OP has issues with this, but I had no idea a product like this existed. I' 51, decently athletic and I'm constantly scared that I'm going to fall when going from the boat, to the trailer tongue then to the truck bumper. I'm just not a spring chicken anymore and I don't want a bad injury when I'm alone and to heck and gone from nowhere. I will DEFINITELY be adding a trick step to my trailer!

I am 79. I put steps on two years ago. Then, I put steps on my other boat. (I keep one tinny in Texas and one in TN for Summers.)
They are a great addition, no matter your age or condition. I figured that one slip while getting off my boat might be the end of my fishing for life. Do it!
I showed my daughter a vid of the Ulterra..she basically talked me into it saying she would be more comfortable knowing I had it ....as I fish alone a lot....I bought it and I LOVE it.... I can launch my boat and move it out of the way and spot lock it.....park the truck and swing it by the dock and just step aboard.......I'm 69 so it helps alot....
I put the trick step on my Ranger and I will never own another boat without one.
I got a Maxworks step stool / platform for around the house and parking lot. I also have a Megaware Flexstep pro for trailer.
