Did you guys get that thing routered or what?

msbhammer · #**114** 06-04-2007, 05:56 PM

No router. *:-[ :-/ :'( Guess I might have to pull out the credit card. Did a little more work today on it though.
Dive ladder bracket.

Mounted the black piece the wrong way. Didnt realize it until it was bolted onto the platform. I then couldnt undo the bolts, so i had to cut two off and redo. >:(

Bracket mounted on the platform.

Hmm, do I or Dont I like it. :-/

Jig saw time. ;D Hoping it will look better when I get a router and do the edge. Somebody UPS me a router. ;D

I let you know tomorrow if I'm coming down this weekend.
If I do , I'll bring mine along. ;) ;)

And I know there are no commitments this weekend.

hammer, hopeyou have better luck with that type of ladder than i did. good idea, but the plastic steps did not hold up, especially with 200 lb divers & 50 lb of gear. when the plastic breaks off there are some wicked steps made out of metal with sharp teeth that point up so you can step on them. save some starboard to make some replacements. i went with the garlick style

Hammer, that's turned into a sport model and I'm going to remember it when I get to mine (much later).
Can you reposition the ladders mounting bolts to use the top of the ladder as a handle or you think it will get in the way? Naaah it will get in the way. ;)
Cut hand holes in the Starboard or add a handle to the rear of the boat?

The guy who did the pipe work offered to build me a ladder instead of going with this one. When I do teh other side, I might have him add a custom ladder to the other side. Depending on the cost of course.

Like it the way it is, functional for diving and fishing

Once teh starboard is screwed down, I'll be adding on a boarding rail that will mount to the transom or on top of teh gunnel cap. Not sure yet.
