Will do ,Ed. I'm still in the design stages as yet. It may turn out not to be a telescoping type ladder, but it must give me what I want out of it. 1. It must not drag in the water. 2. It must be long enough when lowered to climb in easily. 3. It must fit tightly(clamped) on the boat so it will not come off if the boat rolls over. 4. It must be able to be lowered by somone in the water. 5. It must have a brace against the lower part of the stern that holds the bottom of the ladder out away from the boat at an angle, to make up for the bow rising when you step on the ladder. When I get one that meets all of these, I will fill you inOriginally posted by Ed Jones
Kim - If your boarding ladder works out, please send me a pix and text for a Mainsheet article. Send to ed@capri14.org. Thanks.

That looks intersting , but I'm a little leary of cutting holes in the deck or seats. I like to be able to undo what I have changed, just in cas it doesn't work out like I had hoped.Originally posted by Dave Lilley
For storage under the seats, install inspection ports and cat bags.

I plan to install two (under under each seat) soon.
