Replace ladder to flybridge with steps
1977 Carver Mariner
Hate the ladder going up
I don’t mind keeping and storing it, but I have got to have some steps put in instead even if a steep angle.
Anybody ever done this or similar?
I was thinking some type of stairs that can be brought out and then tucked back straight up and down if we wanted.

Re: Replace ladder to flybridge with steps
For a while I was looking at some nice sport fisher type boats, but the big drawback was the ladder to the bridge. I was thinking the same as you, trying to see how I could modify to put in some regular steps without taking up too much of the cockpit area.

I actually think there is a design something like that being sold.....just don't remember where or on what make boat....I hear you on the ladder although one guy had trained his shepherd to climb the bridge ladder on his Ray.....
Maybe someone has seen this also....the ladder not the dog...

Re: Replace ladder to flybridge with steps
I bought this boat a few months ago. I absolutely love the boat except for that ladder.
