    New phoenix boarding ladder

    I just had a ladder made for my boat at metalogic https://www.metalogicinc.com/ and they have a jig now to make them. Not sure which models are exactly the same as my 721, but since every one is custom made give em a call and have it customized like you want it. Its made from mirror polished SS and is built like a tank. They are the folks that make the oem rails and ladders for quite a few other manufacturers, and this is the 3rd ladder they have made for me. Give kevin a call and get you one too, one youll enjoy using instead of an emergency trinket you may not be able to use when your life depends on it. Tell him you seen dusty’s ladder

    Will it fit with power poles, and other brands of poles?

    Yes there is plenty of room to use the ladder even for a full size adult

    Looks good I had Metalogic build and install a ladder on my Nitro a couple of years ago. Long haul through winding roads for me from OKC but well worth it. Dropped it off around noon one day, spent the night in Mountain Home and picked my boat up the next morning. It works great....haven't fallen in once.

    Love it, looks fantastic. I'm sure my kids would like to replace my R&R e ladder with something easier to use. Any estimation on cost with labor? I know every boat is different but very curious.

    give em a call. I did some work for one of the owners so i have no idea the price. Talk to kevin and tell him you have a 920 and would love to test their ladder out to see if it fits your hull too. May get yourself a demo deal

    It looks great; like a factory install. Lack of a decent ladder is the only real functional gap on the bird imo. You have the third step which is critical. My old ranger hand only 2 steps and the knee dexterity required would be about as unhelpful as the bird ladder in my view.

    They do factory rails and ladders for the other brands. They can also add more steps if you dont care about it sticking up past the rubrail to get it even deeper
