Default Re: 23 Sceptre ladder

my new 77 Sceptre is very original except for the ladder. The prior owner stated the ladder that came with the boat was extremely inadequate, so he made a heavy duty plywood one that looks great and functions perfectly. It would be easy to duplicate. I will make a drawing tomorrow with dimensions and angles and construction details if you need it. Pictures say all. The boat came with plastic open swing hinges on each side and at the walk thru. This ladder is very rugged and not that heavy.

That is certainly whats needed but I will say the original would fold flat and was a piece of art, hardly inadequate

I could care less about getting on the boat - this ain't no cruise ship - just getting to the anchor, but thats whats needed for that

I spent about 6 months wondering how to make a ladder to access the bow,until I realized that I hardly ever have to do that.
Went to a camping store near my house and bought a folding step stool that folds to about 2-1/2 inches flat and easily stows away in the cuddy against the port side bulkhead with a piece of shock cord holding it tight.
It easily holds 300 lbs and has rubber feet so it's very non slip.It cost me about ten bucks.
Works good for my use.We troll only and never anchor up so the only time I ever need to get up on the deck is in some tricky weather docking conditions.

PS: I bought a taller version of the exact stool,don't remember the height,but it makes access to the bow fairly easy.

If I buy the boat, as I'm waiting for the motors to be removed to inspect the transom better I would love to have it - do you think you could be any further away though

I anchor at the islands all the time so its mandatory - or I will lose my anchor bitch

still would be worth the shippng - If I don't need it somebody sure will.
