I had one fine reply on my previous request for recommendations on a good boarding ladder for my M15. Randy Graves recommended the fine ladder offered by International Marine for the Potter 19. A bit pricey, but appears to be very well made, so likely worth every penny. I don't find anything comparable in West's online catalog, so am wondering two things: ONE: Does anyone else have anything else to recommend? TWO: Has anyone installed one of the Potter 19s' on an M15 and has wisdom to offer on where to mount it, and how to back up the mounting bolts? Best yet, does our Monty guru Jerry have wisdom on either question for me? Wishing all of you great sailing in 2007. I plan on it! John Butler Do it now. You can't do it any younger! .--.-.
