Swim step ladders

[hd&boatrider]

Do any of you put one of the ladders on each side of the swim step or just keep it on one side?
I am thinking of putting one on each side....what do you think, any down side?

Twice the Aqua-Step's = Twice as much Rattle..... ;)

So, if money wasn't an issue it would be a easy decision, right? The money is the downside? I am more wondering if there is any reason--besides the money--you would not want to do this.

I'm doin' alright Tom! I'll be better when Rivertoys and OP6 are back online though... ;)
I've got a river trip coming a week from today, so I'm pretty happy about that!!!
Your new new boat looks BAD-ASS BTW!!! You're going to love that thing. Is there a Whipple in your future???

Also, on the subject of two Aqua-Steps, typically I turn the drive away from the side with the swim step (my passenger side) when I anchor or beach. This way the prop is further away from people boarding and disembarking. With two, it wouldn't matter, and the prop might be closer to someone getting on or off. Just a safety thought.... :rolleyes:

I didn't know OP6 was down....
I am hoping that next weekend I might be able to take out the Shockwave on its maiden voyage out on Lake Mohave. Are you going to be on the river? Is it a family trip for you? How is the family doing?
Thanks for the comment on the Tremor...Naw, no whipple for me. You know I would just have to push it to its limits anyhow. I think I will just stick to the mid to high 60's...maybe a little over 70 when the 496HO gets broken in.
I think I just hijacked my own thread...>WTF!

That is very logical....logic=RivJas....what is this world coming to? lol I think I will just keep the one step bassed on your post here. Too many people don't pay attention as it is and I don't want anybody getting hurt.

I hear you T&B....I spent some serious dinero on those speaker grills from Rons....and that was after he gave me a very good deal.

One step is enough. You could get two steering wheels as well...but why bother? :)

rivertoysjas,funny you should mention that.I do the same thing,
turn my drive away from the aqua step and then put my ice chest on the side where the drive is.that way anyone in or out of the boat is forced to use the side away from the prop

Tom, I know alot of you guys will think we are crazy, but we have always used our stern drive as a ladder/step to get onto the swim step. We have never had any one get hurt. We have always warned our kids and guest just be careful. We never let people in the water if the engine is running!!!!!! Things would probably be different if you had a surfice prop... just my .02 Have fun with the Shockwave.

That makes me nervous RNG.....I plan on having fun real soon with the new boat (smile)
