Ive had the full, folding ladder on each of my boats since 2000, and it is the first option that goes on my order.Ive had to use it one time, in a situation that could have turned out very badly, and Im not sure an e-ladder would have helped me.Trust me, you wont know it is there when fishing, but if you ever need to “re-enter” the vessel, youll be very, very glad that full size ladder is there.Mike Whitten/Germantown, TN
