430 Cockpit - Cockpit to sun deck ladder

Postby PJHoffnet » September 19th, 2016, 7:54 am

Has anyone replaced the 'standard' ladder with some type of spiral staircase? IMHO the ladder is not as safe and easy to use as a spiral staircase.

Goes for any other model with a ladder vice staircase.

Call Carver and ask if they still have them for your model. I know they don't have them for my 3807 :cry: so I've been trying to find someone to custom build it out of stainless steel or powder coated aluminum. Apparently Carver used to build those themselves.

There was a thread here a few years ago where a member fabricated his own. There was a boat in my old marina where the owner did the same and it looked very well done. I think the previous thread was on a Carver 35 MY, 93 vintage. Same previous ladder design to the 430 though.
