Good ideas, Destroyer. I have a swim platform -- the human kind -- and no doubt I could coax him to swim toward it, but I don't know if it would be easier than lifting him from the side. I guess if I'm standing on it I can lift him and try to swing him into the boat, but then again I don't know if I want him swimming anywhere near even a still prop. I've seen dog boarding platforms but they only seem to be workable on boats with less freeboard than our V's.
