Has anyone had any experience with this style swim platform step on their boat? It works like the ones on the back of a wave runner/jetski/pwc. I wonder if the leverage it would have from being so long would be an issue with the platform? Otherwise, it looks simple and neat.

Never seen that in action . . . the video does not make it look that sturdy. But that observation could be 100% wrong.

Most folks that need support getting into the boat are probably older or bigger.

Looks like a pretty simple solution. I'd like to add a step but want something that will help the dogs as well.

Kind of wish I would have seen or thought of something like that before adding my steps....

For all of you that have added steps...
1) are you just using 1" SS screws and pre-drilling?
2) should there be adhesive and if so 5200 or the weaker kind?
3) does the standard ladder affect anything while cruising, surfing, boarding, etc?

This looks like a nice solution to a problem I'm starting to have. Getting old sucks.
