Sundance/MajicTilt Trailer Ladder Ideas?

Fish-n-Fur · 12-30-2011, 10:07 AM

Need to mount a ladder on my MajicTilt trailer to get in/out of my Sundance boat, but have not found anyhting suitable.
It's a 20ft boat. I'm tired of too many near-miss falls, and 1 day I'm sure I'll bite it if I don't get a ladder in place soon.
ANY IDEAS??? Just a simple ladder that's tall enough, or perhaps what a fabricated one might cost? Thanks.

Thanks Cap'n. None of the pics open, probably because the thread is older, but the storage box "step" is an idea. Still lookin.....but something to keep in mind.

I built portable steps on wheels similar to what they use @ Daybreak marina. It worked great.
Basically, it was a set of steps like you see in trailer parks but with a set of wheels that sat in such a way that when the steps were tilted forward the wheels would touch the ground & raise the steps off the ground.

Sorry no pics

I am wanting to add a permanent set of steps to my trailer for bow access, primarily for on and off load my boat. I usually access it from the stout fender wells when parked.
...So, I'm still looking for ideas.

Thanks.

We do custom fabrication such as the ladder you are requesting. We really need to see photos posted here or even better, bring the boat and trailer by our shop.

The built in ladder on the trailer of my Glacier Bay 202 allows easy on and off any time the boat is on the trailer. I realize that a cat has a wide bow which makes it easy to step on and off the boat from the ladder. You may wish to look for ideas on trailers made for cat's.
