I had this Basscat ladder on my last Puma and it looked great and functioned extremely well. Many of my fishing partners commented that the design was such that it did not impede their fishing off the back deck at all. When I did my usual morning safety talk with them, most of them had even failed to notice it was there until I pointed it out. I used a very small lightweight 99cent bungee on it to make sure that it never came down in severe waves. Go for It-You will love it1
