Think I will pass on the inboard with swim platform.( although that platform would make for some easy fish landing tactics)…….I am going to get an e-ladder. I know I would have no problem. I may work the repetitive boarding into my summer olympic training schedule.. Hope my daughter can get in easily also. I am really just looking for something that may come in handy a couple times a year for my daughter to get in and out during the summer when shes home from college.And on the flip side Ill also have a way to get out should an accident or something happen. Thanks for the advice guys.
