The BC original step and pole was a great idea but time has passed it by. Have a 19 Lynx. I am old and fat and the pole is WAY TOO SHORT to help me get in the boat AND with the graph(s) and TM they are hard to step over. BC, the longer pole would solve most of this. I have contacted Trick step and they need the angle on the support for the roller and the tubing size to give me a quote to make one. Their grab pole is much longer. I do have a little concern about hitting theĀ Trick step when loading or launching the boat though. BCB, can you help with the angle and the tubing size? AND BCB, make the poles longer on newer models. The expense would be minimal and the help would be great.
