...So, I'm still looking for ideas.

Thanks.

Saw this in a Boatmaster ad

Thanks 1-loco. Looks like something that would work well. Will inquire.

I asked the guy that makes pier carts what he would charge but no joy yet

BTW: Fish-n-Fur; I'm planning on building the same thing your looking for, to be able to launch the boat from the bow as well. What I plan on doing is have the aluminum ladder attach to the winch post by a bracket.

Pier cart guy said about $300 for a ladder like this

1-loco: I'll probably pass on that, but thanks.

Starlifter: that might be a viable (and practicle) solution, as long as it's very stable and doesn't look too bad. Post a pic when you're done if you don't mind, thanks.

Fish-n-Fur: what I plan on building for our trailer will be secure, and won't be gawdy. Because I know what you mean about not wanting projects looking like it was pulled out a monkey's butt!

Starlifter: gotta let you know that you really cracked me up. Had to explain to my wife why I was laughing so hard.

You're "spot on" with your comment. Looking fwd to a picture of your project/masterpiece.

Might give me inspiration!
I'm still lookin' for a solution, have looked at a lot of websites in the process, but still not there yet.

I'm going to start building a ladder for our boat hopefully this month. To be honest with you the material to build a ladder should not be no more than $50-100 dollars tops because it doesn't have to be elaborate to be functional and strong. I'll let you know once I've got one built, and I'll let you know what it ended up costing material wise. Then if you'd want one built I'll
build you one for the cost of material, labor, and then pay the shipping to get
it to you. I'll also give you a copy of my current FL drivers license if you want due to you living out of my area, and we can take care of payment through PayPal. I'm saying this because I know there are crooks out there, and I hope to get more work through PFF, so I'm not going to screw anyone over which would ruin my name and business ethic.

StarLifter: sounds like a winner. Will be standing by to see the finished product, and I'll let you know - thanks
