Foldable pontoon steps, made on the East Coast

[mariadz]

I was inspired by a recent video for a foldable set up that helped people getting onto high freeboard boats without pulling on anything.

I set about making a design that would work for our Moody 54 (90cm from a pontoon to deck height).

All documented in the link, without dimensions, calculations to change dimensions and how I did it.

Very nice and well presented .... but if the idea is to have something portable why go for something as weighty and cumbersome as this? A decent pair of low rise kitchen steps would do the job at a fraction of the cost, would be more versatile and would stow easily. Also avoids issues regarding shared space on pontoon fingers. Sorry!
