going to put her in the rack again this year and then work on the trailer after, going to update it and make some changes. Maybe some way of climbing down might work.

It's not too hard to look around and find permanently mounted ladders at the winch-stand for this purpose...pretty substantial ones that go to top of bow to make it easy to step over the rail...

Either that or a slip w/a lift would be ideal...that's what I'd do...my buddy at Lake Hartwell has lifts for both his boats...easy to deploy and keeps em CLEAN...:party:

did you look at the latching mechanism on the floaton site?

I did look at it, looks pretty cool, they are in Fla. though so tough to check out and to get set up for your boat correctly

they probably have all the info for your boat on file
