Default Re: Help with mounting a dive ladder?

Bill

I have seen them. I also saw what Lt Dan (chainsaw) did on his. He "notched" the engine bracket to the exact size and used the standard Armstrong ladder bracket. That way it did not stick out past the edge. It looked very professional [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Now on the other hand, the Potter ladder folds up under the bracket and also serves as a safety issue. Mr. Potter told me a story of a guy, who fell off his boat in rough seas and was unable to climb back on board [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Had he had the Potter ladder he could have swam to the back of the boat and pulled the ladder out from it's folded position and climbed back onboard [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] Makes sense, as my Armstrong ladder is stored in the forward hatch when not in use. I would think that the Potter deal would surely accommodate a large person such as yourself [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

BTW: I'm going to try to make it down your way in a couple of weeks cause I need to go to Bass Pro. I'll give you a shout [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
